boa VS rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials

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).

I am very interested in this tutorial for building an OS for the Raspberry Pi in Rust: https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutoria...

I'd love to try it out when (if ever) I have the time.

I like rust, low level and embedded hacking so I programmed a simple "kernel", based on this: https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials

So every week, I basically followed along these tutorials. I didn't even made an effort to fully understand the code I was copying, as I just didn't want to waste mental energy on it as I wanted that energy and time wasted on my focus at the time (C++ and JS). I did that for like a year, doing 1-3 tutorials/week from that site. Over the course of it, I got to build web apps, several compilers, several games mostly board games/3d shooters/2d multiplayer games, raytracers, peer to peer apps, building a networking stack, bots, blockchain apps, servers, PGP encryption, E2E encryption apps such as for messaging, built a NES emulator, virtual machines, simulators and graphics programming, etc. I'd say the longest one was learning to build a tiny OS on raspberry pi

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'll give it a shot. I have a raspberry PI zero and a linux host pc. I am trying to run stuff on the raspberry on bare metal, no OS below it (using this tutorial https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials/). Now in the tutorial 4 there is a step "flash the kernel onto SD card and insert the SD card into the raspberry". Now, given my lack of SD card adapter (I'm also curious) I wanted to ask if it is possible to deliver this kernel onto the raspberry without the SD card using USB.

I believe it already exists: https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutorials

Is this just an alternative UI for GitHub but without the files? Am I missing something obvious? I'm confused.

Actual github repo for anyone looking for the files: https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutoria...
