I'm glad they opened this up, but I really hope "javascript first, every runtime should look like v8" doesn't become the standard here.

Agreed. Hopefully the WASM ecosystem continues developing and takes over.

I didn't mean to propose there should be a single standard. But for Javascript oriented FaaS, you really will have a hard time finding a better paradigm than the one they've settled on for Workers imo.

It’s JavaScript first but the entire V8 dependency is abstracted behind an abstraction layer. Conceivably could be ported to other runtimes like Spidermonkey or JavaScriptCore with some work.

What part of the Cloudflare runtime looks v8 specific, rather than just (web) javascript specific?
