Implements the #5643 idea. As soon as `MainModule` creates `Context` for GraalVM execution, it schedules a background task to initialize JavaScript. The initialization finishes sooner than Enso compiler is ready to work, saving time when it is actually needed. # Important Notes Only modifies boot sequence of `MainModule` (used in the IDE) and `VerifyJavaScriptIsAvailableTest` (to verify the _"context passing logic"_ works OK between threads). Regular CLI execution remains unchanged for now assuming batch execution may not need JavaScript in all the cases and if it does the initialization speed isn't that critical. |

Enso Runtime
The Enso runtime is responsible for the actual execution of Enso code. This means that it encompasses the following functionality:
- Parsing: Taking Enso code as input and generating an AST that maintains a sophisticated set of information about the input.
- Desugaring: Reducing the user-facing Enso code into a simplified language
known as
Core
. - Type Inference: Inferring the types of bindings in the user's code.
- Type Checking: Checking that the inferred and provided types for bindings match up across the codebase.
- Optimisation: Static optimisation processes to improve the performance of the user's program.
- Code Execution: Actually running the Enso code.
- Introspection Hooks: Providing hooks into the running code to allow the language server to inspect information about the code as it runs.
Truffle Nodes creation convention
All Truffle nodes that are expected to be created as part of ASTs should
implement a public, static build
method for creating an instance. If the node
is DSL generated, the build
method should delegate to the autogenerated
create
method, so that nodes are always created with build
. Such a
convention allows us to easily switch node back and forth between manual and DSL
generated implementations, without the need to change its clients.
The only exception are nodes that are never expected to be a part of an AST –
e.g. root nodes of builtin functions, for which an asFunction
method should be
implemented instead.
This convention should be implemented for every node throughout this codebase – if you see one not obeying it – please fix it.
