jerryscript VS boa

JerryScript

Some IoT platforms use Duktape and JerryScript as their engines.

I've been having a lot of fun with https://kalumajs.org/ recently for silly JS embedded things. It's been great so far, and has a cool little community!

It's a runtime built on top of JerryScript, which has been pretty neat to look into as well: https://jerryscript.net/

Jerryscript came to mind : https://github.com/jerryscript-project/jerryscript

I personally quite like JerryScript

Based on JerryScript, the creators also provide an IDE and serial communication tool on their website. There's also ample documentation and guides. Looking forward to getting more into this.

I hear you loud and clear.

There are subsets of JS for embedded device e.g. Espruino https://github.com/espruino/Espruino for BangleJS https://shop.espruino.com/banglejs also with 4MB or JerryScript https://jerryscript.net

Fitbit uses Jerryscript in some of their watch OSes. Well, at least they were last time I was tinkering with making my own watch face

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).
