Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A Garbage-Collected Heap in C++, Shaped Like Typed Python
I implemented a GC in C++ a couple of years ago for a JS interpreter (some notes). Some of the optimization I spent a lot of effort on (NaN-tagging) might not be appropriate for your use case though, and I won't recommend using the exact same approach as I did.

Enumerating and analyzing 40 non-V8 JavaScript implementations
I made a toy ECMAScript interpreter a couple of years ago: https://github.com/mras0/mjs
Not really notable, expect perhaps being the only one on the list with an ES1 mode? :) (Can't promise it's accurate though, as it was hard to find examples).
Otherwise pretty boring (C++, hand-written parser, AST interpreter, ES1/ES3/ES5.1 support minus some regexp/timezone/locale stuff).

A list of JavaScript engines, runtimes, interpreters

Can you make your own JavaScript by implementing ECMAScript standard?
Indeed. ECMA-262 has been implemented using JavaScript https://github.com/engine262/engine262.
-
What sorts of things would you consider to be “advanced” javascript concepts?
Node.js is not the only JavaScript runtime. JavaScript runtimes have been written using JavaScript alone, see engine262. There is also Deno, QuickJS, txiki.js, Bun, none of which use COmmonJS by default, SpiderMonkey, et al.

Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on? ( 2022 Edition)
for an interpreted language like JS, this project is really nice https://github.com/engine262/engine262. More or less 2 parts: parser and evaluator
-
Is there a source that shows how built in js methods/functions are built?
That is a bit complex, so here's a list of JS engines: if you pick one written *in* JS, that would probably be most useful -- engine262 for example

QuickJS JavaScript Engine – Fabrice Bellard
then you might be impressed by https://github.com/engine262/engine262 as well

And so was the C compiler.

[AskJS] is there a way to quantitatively check if a number value is copied or only the pointer to that number is copied?
It's outside of what you asked for, but here's a JavaScript engine in JavaScript. Might make for some interesting bedtime reading!
