Node.js is not included. Node.js 16.9 or later must be installed, and Node.js 21 or later is needed to return BigInt values. See Configuring the Node.js process.
A message is limited to the maximum length of a JavaScript string (about 512 million UTF-16 characters). A larger message fails its call.
JSValue and JSReference can only be used in the arguments of a call. A JsonNode created from them cannot be serialized or cloned, and they cannot be members of objects serialized using reflection.
A synchronous infinite loop blocks all the other calls, or all the other calls of its worker thread with WorkerThreads. Disposing the host kills the process.
A module is loaded once per process. A change to its file has no effect until a new host is started. See Calling modules.
JavaScript code must not read from process.stdin, which is closed once the process has started.
