xeus-javascript opens the door for quite some interesting use cases. For example it could be reused for making custom JavaScript kernels with a set of libraries already preloaded.
Looks like we would need a way to:
provide a different display name and logo
inject custom JavaScript to be run on kernel startup
make it possible for derived kernels to hook into the kernel messaging system, for example to send custom display data (maybe the item above would also solve that)
A concrete example would be for the p5 kernel: https://github.com/jupyterlite/p5-kernel
Currently this kernel is a bit tedious to maintain, and would benefit from the features offered by xeus-javascript.
Having such kernel compared to using a generic JavaScript kernel would still be useful, because someone authoring a p5 sketch could directly use global variables (like the setup() and draw() functions, or other globals like TWO_PI or DEGREES) provided by the p5 library, without having to import the library from a CDN.

Regarding "inject custom JavaScript to be run on kernel startup", I tried to add some script in post.js. If the script uses no external packages, it works well. For "await import()" is not allowed in post.js in building, so far, I couldn't find a way to use external packages.
For example,
const {default: OpenAI} = await import('https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/openai@4.26.0/+esm');
caused
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ("import").
