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).

Such apps exist. Essentially they require a license key before accesing. For example, Cryptomator (github) and Threema (github) .

The source code can be found here: https://github.com/threema-ch/threema-android. Just clone it and start adding your language, then submit a PR.

DESCRIPTION: Threema is one of the most successful Swiss app developers and offers secure chat solutions for both individuals and organizations. We have been committed to security and privacy protection since 2012. Our messenger, which is used by over 10 million people, is open source and has been audited by independent companies multiple times. Our company is characterized by flat hierarchies, a relaxed work environment, strong team spirit, and sustainability.

If you choose "maximum quality" in the settings and the other user choses "balanced" and is on a metered data plan, then you will both get the "low" quality profile. Additionally, if a call is being relayed over Threema servers, because a direct connection cannot be established, then the max profile is also excluded. Only if both users choose "maximum quality" in the settings, and if the call takes place over a direct connection, then that profile will actually be used. That logic can be found here: https://github.com/threema-ch/threema-android/blob/c3eb92a10166a9912056cfcd8f81f4df9c07f835/app/src/main/java/ch/threema/app/voip/util/VoipVideoParams.java#L186-L231

It's one commit per version. Contributions go to a private email instead of a public mailing list. All development happens in private and pushed to the public in a version bump with no changelog.

So yeah it has an AGPL License (which is good) and meets the minimum of FOSS requirements, but it gives of the feeling that they're following the letter, but not the spirit of FOSS.

I would definitely not use it or push any friend to use it.
