Description
It would be nice to be able to deduplicate the parts of hc-install that are shared with https://github.com/hashicorp/js-releases, and implementations in other languages.
For example, [CGO bindings can be used to share library code with Python](https://medium.com/analytics-vidhya/running-go-code-from-python-a65b3ae34a2d).
WASM may be an option for JS, but will it work in all possible js-releases execution environments?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the hc-install implementation and the linked js-releases project to identify shared library code and supported execution environments. Compare CGO bindings for Python with a WASM approach for JavaScript, and consider the environments js-releases must support; done means a decided, working cross-language strategy.
