ssgl-doom-launcher VS ChakraCore

Some google-fuing suggested using this, which has a Mac version and such.

https://github.com/FreaKzero/ssgl-doom-launcher works well enough for me

First off, I'm sorry for adding to the incredible amount of Doom launchers out there. I understand there are so many, and there are some great ones. ( Shout out to SSGL )

Alternatively there is also SuperShotgun Launcher

I thought it would be a fun weird project to make Servo work with MS' abandoned JavaScript engine:

https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore

Of course it is written in C++ and you'd probably want a pure Rust browser. But it is sad seeing that fairly complete open source JIT JavaScript engine sit and rot.

The JS engine is open source: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore

ChakraCore

Not to forget the engine Charka: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore

The only bit of the old Edge that had its source emancipated. It was/is? quite performant.

As a Linux user, I very much think Microsoft should have continued Trident and Chakra. Apple also should have continued releasing Safari for Windows. Our web QA setup was entirely built around Macs back then, but it was great to be able to test sites with Safari on Windows, and to have another responsive browser on Win32.

Edge was initially using Chakra but has been rebuilt using Chromium and the V8 engine.

I've found the source code to be quite readable too - albeit from a bug-finding perspective, not a strictly pedagogical one.

Furthermore, the new architecture decouples the JavaScript interface from the engine, enabling the use of other JavaScript engines such as Hermes, V8, or Chakra.

ChakraCore

I am astonished at the omission of ChakraCore, open sourced by Microsoft but sadly abandoned by them after they switched Edge to Chromium: https://github.com/chakra-core/ChakraCore. But it looks like it’s still chugging along as a community effort rather than being completely abandoned.
