Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

This year in Servo: over 1000 pull requests and beyond
I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:
https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore
Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.

Roll your own JavaScript runtime, pt. 3
Not to forget the engine Charka: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore
The only bit of the old Edge that had its source emancipated. It was/is? quite performant.

Have you deployed Microsoft Todo to end users? How did you deploy it?
As a Linux user, I very much think Microsoft should have continued Trident and Chakra. Apple also should have continued releasing Safari for Windows. Our web QA setup was entirely built around Macs back then, but it was great to be able to test sites with Safari on Windows, and to have another responsive browser on Win32.

The Javascript Engine
Edge was initially using Chakra but has been rebuilt using Chromium and the V8 engine.

Crystal's Interpreter (2021)
https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore/wiki/Architecture-...
I've found the source code to be quite readable too - albeit from a bug-finding perspective, not a strictly pedagogical one.
-
Exploring React Native’s new architecture
Furthermore, the new architecture decouples the JavaScript interface from the engine, enabling the use of other JavaScript engines such as Hermes, V8, or Chakra.

Enumerating and analyzing 40 non-V8 JavaScript implementations
I am astonished at the omission of ChakraCore, open sourced by Microsoft but sadly abandoned by them after they switched Edge to Chromium: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore. But it looks like it’s still chugging along as a community effort rather than being completely abandoned.

I have done a full benchmark of a POST REST API on my computer: Node.js vs Fastify vs Express.js vs Deno vs Bun vs GO. Node.js is used WITH and WITHOUT clustering on 6-core I7 processor
https://github.com/just-js/just Is another for a V8 runtime, it really shows how well optimized it is. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21

Bun v0.6.0 – Bun's new JavaScript bundler and minifier
i just tried recompiling v0.0.2 (https://github.com/just-js/just/releases/tag/0.0.2) of just-js and comparing it to current. for the completely static build on ubuntu 22.04 i see following:
0.0.2 (v8 v8.4.371.18) - file size: 15.2 MB, startup RSS: 8.4 MB

Is Scala to Java the same relationship as TypeScript has with ECMAScript?
Not at all. Javascript, as well as java compiled into the bytecode, but just incrementally and at the runtime. You cannot compile typescript into bytecode directly (at least it intend to be like that). You can even compile js to executable (https://github.com/just-js/just). So no, typescript transpiles to javascript, whereas scala compiles to bytecode, it's different things

A C++ web/application framework I have been building for the last 12yrs
Trust me, these guys are insane and go to really extreme levels and use optimization techniques which are not generally prevalent among the general programming fraternity. for eg, look at pico.v it is awesome and just-js is truly unbelievable, then there is faf, most of them combine low level programming trickery to reach those insane numbers. Also some of the code may not be useful in a production app but they actually extract the juice out of the metal at every instance. Memory optimizations, compiler optimizations, postgresql wire implmentations, rust black magic, these guys are really crazy and passionate.
