An ES5-compliant JavaScript interpreter, written in Java
I would guess that depends on the licensing context in which it will be running, since Rhino is MPLv2 <https://github.com/mozilla/rhino/blob/Rhino1_7_14_Release/LI...> and OP's repo is MIT whereas Graal is UPLv1 <https://github.com/oracle/graaljs/blob/graal-23.1.2/LICENSE>. GitHub's license gizmo claims it is OSI/FSF approved, but Oracle gonna Oracle and they for sure have more lawyers than you do

I found a remote code execution bug in VSCode that can be triggered from untrusted workspaces. Microsoft fixed it but marked it as moderate severity and ineligible under their bug bounty program.

The check of the Rhino JavaScript engine or how the unicorn met the rhino
At the same time as studying the Rhino's source code, I downloaded its source files and ran the analysis using the PVS-Studio plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. The analyzer found quite a few warnings for a 25-year-old project (they are listed in descending order of certainty):

I’ve spent the last few months working on a project that recreates castles in 3D. This is Kenilworth Castle as it may had been in the 1600s.

Best way to integrate Python and JavaScript?
I'm guessing it would be possible using Jython and Rhino, for one example, but I'm curious whether or not anyone's ever actually done this, and if there are solutions for other platforms (especially CPython).

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

[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!
