regulatory capture by coal and gas companies

They're literally paying wind farm companies billions to go away - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-rwe-wind-farms/

They just implement the fetch api from the web, does the fetch api allow get’s to have a body?

A body is technically allowed on any http request but it doesn’t mean anything on a get, a server is free to ignore it, anything in the middle is free to strip it, etc.

And yet many don't, Istio/Envoy for example. There are enough usable applications that utilize it that ignoring the body comes with a cost.

If you need bug-for-bug node compatibility you should be using node.

Your "bug-for-bug" compatibility ensures Axios, Elasticsearch, many GraphQL implementations, etc. works. Hence I will use node as mentioned in my original comment.

You should use bun :)

Because we don’t, our representatives work for companies like Meta, not ordinary people.
