Lets PRG use the npm ecosystem with NO C/CGO/Harbour native — faithful to
Five (C→Go). NODE_EVAL(cJs[,cWorkdir[,cInput]]) shells out to `node -e`
(pure os/exec), resolving node from PATH or common Homebrew/usr paths;
user data passes via env FIVE_NODE_INPUT (no code injection); returns
{ok,out,err} JSON. The Go binary stays pure Go and only spawns node when
this RTL is used.

fivenode_go
FiveNode for Five — a Harbour-compatible web framework that compiles to a single Go binary. No Node.js, no FFI, no Apache. PRG sources go in, one executable comes out.
Successor to the koffi/N-API based fivenode framework, rebuilt on the Five Pure-Go runtime.
Status
Early bootstrap — Phase 1a in progress.
Architecture
Browser ──── HTTP/HTTPS ──── fivenode_go single binary
├─ Five hbrt VM (PRG interpreter / compiled)
├─ Five hbrtl (483 standard RTL functions)
├─ hbrtl_ext/httpserver — HTTP server RTL
├─ hbrtl_ext/capi — bridge_*.prg helpers
├─ hbrtl_ext/pgrtl — PostgreSQL client RTL
├─ app/ — bridge_*.prg + app PRG
└─ go:embed — static assets
fnode build api/*.prg --extra-rtl=hbrtl_ext/... -o myapp produces a
self-contained binary. No external dependencies beyond what the app code
itself opens (e.g. a Postgres connection).
Build
go build -o fnode ./cmd/fnode
./fnode build app/hello.prg -o hello
./hello
