js-in-css-rt VS quickjs

This took a different direction than I expected! I was hopping to see a bit more of the extreme weirdness of JS and not so much of "mainstream weirdness" though.

I've played with Javascript itself, brought it to extremes that were just funny and painful and it's amazingly weird. There's lots of experiments and pseudo-libraries out there exploring those as well like JS-in-CSS [1]. I've even wrote some of them, like Running PHP in Javascript [2] and a funny "jquery alternative" that allows you to do `dom.a._target = "blank";` [3] (for the equivalent of `$('a').attr('target', '_blank');`).

You may be familiar, but I just wanted to show how it is available in many C implementations and is used, for example, in QuickJS: https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/blob/0c8fecab2392387d76a4...

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.

QuickJS

I think QuickJS, written in C, is a user-"friendly" starting point for implementing ECMA-262. Documentation QuickJS Javascript Engine.

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/.
