Create a workerd stack

[ocdtrekkie]

This is the setup.sh I wrote a couple weeks ago which got me... most of the way there maybe?

sudo apt-get install -y clang libc++-dev libc++abi-dev g++ unzip zip git
curl -OL https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/5.3.0/bazel-5.3.0-installer-linux-x86_64.sh
chmod +x bazel-5.3.0-installer-linux-x86_[64.sh](http://64.sh/)
./bazel-5.3.0-installer-linux-x86_[64.sh](http://64.sh/) --user

git -C "workerd" pull || git clone https://github.com/cloudflare/workerd
cd workerd
sudo /root/bin/bazel clean --expunge
sudo /root/bin/bazel build -c opt //src/workerd/server:workerd

But I wasn't able to get it to successfully build.

We can use the edge chat demo for testing, but durable objects support hasn't made it into workerd yet, so the useful apps will be limited. But one of their recent demos involves adding comments to static web pages using workerd, a concept we've wanted to explore more before.

I think as per cloudflare/workerd#302 it should be possible for a workerd stack to behave reasonably as a Sandstorm app with persistent storage now?

Pijul's Nest might be a good "real" app to package once we've figured out the basic stack: https://pijul.org/posts/2023-05-23-nest-a-new-hope/
