Project mention: This year in Servo: over 1000 pull requests and beyond | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-18

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.
