Interesting choice to build a brand new JS engine from the ground up. Wondering if there's a life for that outside of the project as an embeddable JS / TS engine (especially after Microsoft abandoned Chakra/ChakraCore a few years back).



There are many choices we have made that wouldn't make sense on desktop class cpu... 5 orders of magnitude of difference in RAM size is somewhat significant in design choices :)


Hey, desktop apps that embed JavaScript engines would also love to get an option 5 orders of magnitude less memory intensive :)

Even ES5 (the rest can be polyfilled).
