Hey David,
Thank you for sharing your concern.
Interestingly, I've also been trying to play around with Hoot in hopes of
learning about WASM!
Coming back to the topic, I've found out that this issue
<https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/50659> exists for 20.9.0 and below.
Therefore, I'll be deleting this test within the expression, and hopefully,
there should be no more issues.
We could revert this for the post 20.9.0 version. I'll test this out by
building locally once.
