Current satus of esy integration

[ulrikstrid]

I just wanted to open a issue detailing the current status of esy integration as I feel like I need a break from it. If anyone wants to pick this up feel free to write here or ping DM/ping me on Discord.

• Develop from a clean clone with just esy
  • Use folders from esy ocaml for snapshots #3918
  • Install needed folders for snapshot ocaml#38 should be enough
• Read sources from esy store [esy] Read dependencies in esy from installation.json #3860, this just needs a cleanup I think
• Out of source compilation [esy] Out of source compilation #3856, this one is probably the hardest
• Windows support, esy can't find node since it doesn't merge the path on Windows, there are 2 ways forward as I see it
  • Create conf-node that looks in common places for node and adds it to path
  • Convert install.js to build commands in esy

The latest package does not need any build , it is just like vanilla js package,
Can you check if esy.json needs upgraded?

There doesn't seem to be much interest and I stopped working on it. The bigger issue is PnP (esy and yarn) support anyway.
