Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
To use this in Bun, you’d have to start Bun with the environment variable “BUN_JSC_useDollarVM=1” and then $vm.createBuiltin(mySourceCodeString)
When using this intrinsic, if any of the arguments are incorrect or it cannot otherwise enable it, the entire process will probably crash. In debug builds of JSC it will have a nicer assertion failure but that is not enabled in release builds
Example code: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/17351231b4dedb62d81721...
also happy to answer any questions about Bun

Show HN: Rem: Remember Everything (open source)
Ah, good, let me introduce you to the wonderful world of the Chrome Devtools Protocol! (fka Chrome Remote Debugging Protocol)
I love this API for almost everything browser related. I built my RBI product atop this (BrowserBox: https://dosyago.com), and I think it's a drastically underrated API.
Also, it works out of the box in Edge, Brave, Chromium, and many parts of CRDP are supported by Firefox and Safari^1

- WebGPU now available for testing in Safari Technology Preview

30% of Firefox users have ≤4 GB of RAM in 2023 - web browsers should be more lightweight and optimize RAM usage
Ah, I see. I didn't realize it wasn't the Master. https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser/tree/master/src/modules/backends/web Does indeed show that it's using both.
