Currently rakudo.js is at the point where:
node rakudo.js --setting=NULL -e 'use nqp; nqp::say "Hello World"'
works but node rakudo.js -e 'say "Hello World"' doesn't.

What's needed for the later is to get rakudo.js (Rakudo compiled to JavaScript) to compile the setting

The general work-flow for that is:

1. Try to compile the setting with rakudo.js.


2. While rakudo.js is compiling some error appears.


3. I then figure out wheter it's a result of a missing feature or some bug in the js backend.


4. I implement the feature and write tests for it or fix the bug.


5. I then repeat the process.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Until the setting compiles Rakudo.js is not yet usable by users.
Even getting something very simple like say "Hello World" requires a fair chunk of the setting to work.

The rakudo specific work is done in the js branch of rakudo https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/tree/js.
Most of the work on the backend itself is done in the master branch in the nqp repo.
