  • Why doesn’t V8 fit on my microcontroller?

    If the scope is limited to ESP32/ESP8266, it seems technically possible to run QuickJS on them.

    From Fabrice Bellard himself:

    > QuickJS should be able to run on the ESP32 platform as it is OS independent (as you said, quickjs-libc.c is not part of the engine). For simple scripts it should fit in the available RAM.

  • Show HN: Happy Pi day with this PWA to cut 100k Pi digits offline
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Mar 2024
    It uses service workers to cache static files, by the time it opens up you already free to be offline, try toggle network switch to verify.

    It has download link at bottom of the about page ([accdoo.app/about]) which you could then self host it by dropping into any static hosting services.

    btw, the Pi feature was by-product from the original App but I won't expand here, if you'd like to learn more, please checkout its two Show HN post (39115559 and 39138957) previously.

    Just go with quickjs, I think this is what you are looking for.

  • New QuickJS Release

    There is a readme on the project's main page: https://bellard.org/quickjs/

    The newsworthy bit here is that the activity seemed to have stalled for year or two and now Fabrice pushed a few fixes and made a new release.

    Just to demonstrate GitHub repositories do not necessarily reflect upon a programmers' body of work, Fabrice Bellard has one (1) repository published on GitHub, quickjs. Compare the list of work on Bellard's home page https://bellard.org/.

    > I am still confused, it's a JavaScript runtime intended to be deployed to JavaScript/Wasm runtimes?

    Seemingly.

    > Why does a JavaScript runtime need a JavaScript runtime?

    Because if you want to create a Service Worker server for CloudFlare Workers and other JavaScript/Wasm runtimes, that's the only option for doing that AFAIK.

    FWIW, this isn't a new idea. For example, Figma uses QuickJS (https://bellard.org/quickjs/) for their plug-in runtime: https://www.figma.com/blog/an-update-on-plugin-security/
