Although I would prefer the convincing-the-fine-node-folks
solution, here are two more ways to avoid dropping node with the
EOL of 8.x(LTS) at the end of 2019.
- Remove llhttp and keep only the "legacy" http-parser, or
- Accept to bootstrap it -- I mean use intermediary self-compiling
steps, like ccl, golang, java, or haskell do.
The build-time dependencies are: node@11.x -> llhttp -> ts-node ->
typescript -> self (typescript), plus quite a few npm packages.
It seems that node@8.x or 9.x should be a native-input to later
versions, but I do not know enough of Guile / Guix packaging to do
it myself anytime soon.
