  Definitely a big win to have support for NPM packages. Need to support the full Node.js environment for this - have tried NPM packages and they seem to typically fail because of classes like the standard Javascript date class are not supported

  Does anyone know what version of javascript is being used? If we knew that we could use something like webpack/babel to transpile npm libraries into the proper version.

  I believe Bixby uses Rhino:

  I don't think this is helpful for the Bixby servers. npm modules can easily get big! But yes, this can come in handy for developers to just provide a package.json to their capsule and then just upload it. But I would still prefer to minify my JS files manually, use only those that my capsule really needs and minimize the overall size as much as possible. Doing those steps are actually not difficult and can be automated (not by Bixby Studio though).
