Boa JavaScript Engine v0.17 released
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.

Official /r/rust "Who's Hiring" thread for job-seekers and job-offerers [Rust 1.67]
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.

Adding a JavaScript interpreter to your Rust project
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.

Dune: A new JavaScript and TypeScript runtime built in Rust
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.

Implementing a safe garbage collector in Rust
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).
