Runtime

What a machine needs before the software starts.

The runtime is what a machine needs before the software runs at all. It covers local development and the build as well as the server, which is where it differs from hosting needs: a static site generator written for Node.js needs Node.js here and only static files there. A record carries every runtime its documentation names as supported. The lowest supported version, where the documentation states one, is a separate field on the record.

12 values in use. 222 records do not record this field. Defined but unused so far: Dart, R — a value with no records is a gap in our coverage, not a statement about the market.
