    JS engine in Rust (by Starlight-JS)

  • I'd honestly just take the dependency on rand in wtf-rs instead of rewriting rc4. You already depend on rand in the main crate. (And I don't know if attacks on rc4 drop are known, but there's much better RNGs out there to use).

  • boa

    Boa is an embeddable and experimental Javascript engine written in Rust. Currently, it has support for some of the language.

  • (For this microbenchmark, Starlight takes 9 ms and BOA takes 21 ms.)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • jsparagus

    Experimental JS parser-generator project.

  • Do you know about jsparagus? It's a Mozilla project to rewrite the frontend of their JS engine in Rust.
