Yes -- see "guix build --source" (it's not JavaScript-specific).

If you meant the _compiled_ JavaScript library (result of "guix build 
node-...") (even when it's maybe just copying source code around and 
maybe minimisation), then also yes:

JavaScript isn't only used in node, but also on the web, in browsers. 
While not all node-based libraries are usable on the web, I'd assume 
some of them are.  So it would be nice if "guix shell -D 
the-web-server-app-thing" didn't install the node interpreter you didn't 
ask for (functional package management) and don't need (resource savings).

Greetings,
Maxime.
