boa VS node

boa

Yeah, pretty much. I'm not sure if we're gonna need to implement Static Shapes first but at least we need to make it possible to separate codeblocks from contexts for this to be feasible.

Hi, I'm looking for full time work and I'm interested in roles related to compilers, developer tools and systems. I'm a college senior(graduating on May, 2023) and have been working as an [IOS Developer](https://www.cyengagement.org/) for the past two years. At University, I took a compilers class where I learnt to use LLVM and MLIR to compile programs to various architectures. In Oct. 2022, I was selected to attend the [Programming Language Implementation Summer School](https://pliss.org/2022/) where I got to learn about compiler implementation and language tools from leading researchers around the world. Recently, I have been contributing to [Boa](https://github.com/boa-dev/boa), an embeddable Javascript engine written in Rust, by fixing issues and implementing features to improve conformance with ECMAScript specification. Aside from working on compilers, I have volunteered at conferences like ICFP'21 and PLDI'22 to familiarize myself with latest research in the field of compilers. You can find more information about me and my work in my [blog](https://veera.app) and Github [profile](https://github.com/veera-sivarajan). Thank you for your time and consideration.

I have great news

I already use it in my project to run some parts of the youtube js player. I must say it was broken on one version of the player because of a generated regex inside (more on the issue), but definitely recommending.

I would be curious how much effort it would be to swap boa for V8 to have an all Rust runtime :) If it's not meant to be a production-ready project anyways.

We'd love to see these benchmarks too! We have an open issue to set-up these benchmarks: https://github.com/boa-dev/boa/issues/1924

Although you probably could use it for something else, Boa[1] is a good demonstration of this (it uses the GC crate, but the same principle probably applies).

Visit the Node.js website and download the latest version of Node.js for your operating system.

Basic knowledge of Node.js and its environment setup. If you don't have Node.js installed on your system, make sure you download and install it from the official Node.js website.

Node.js can be easily installed from its official website. Depending on your operating system, you can choose the Windows, macOS, or Linux version. Node.js packages come with npm (Node Package Manager), which is essential for managing dependencies in your projects.

To get started with Node.js 22.0.0, you can download the latest version from the official Node.js website. For those upgrading from an older version, it is recommended to test your existing applications for compatibility with the new release, particularly if you are using native modules or rely heavily on third-party npm packages.

Node.js (version 10 or higher)

Before we start, ensure that you have Node.js installed on your computer. This is necessary because we will use Node's package manager (npm) to create our Next.js project. If you need to install Node.js, you can download it from the official Node.js website.

Before starting a new project in react, you need to make sure that you have NodeJS install on your system. You can download the latest version of node at https://nodejs.org. Follow the instructions on the node website to do the installation.

Installing Node.js: Download and install Node.js from nodejs.org. Choose the version recommended for most users, unless you have specific needs that require the latest features or earlier compatibility.

You should have Nodejs installed on your laptop and if not, check the Node.js official website, and download/ install the latest and stable release.
