Recommendations for JS Engines that could be embedded in my Game Engine

• Ultralight

  53 4,594 2.9 CMake

  Lightweight, high-performance HTML renderer for game and app developers.

  

I have used https://ultralig.ht/, which uses web tech stack to render ui for desktop applications. It can be used in video games, so I assume the js engine has acceptable performance. It is based on webkit though.

• LuaJIT

  39 4,396 8.9 C

  Mirror of the LuaJIT git repository

  

If you absolutely want a performant scripting runtime, I'd recommend taking a look at LuaJit, DaScript or AngelScript.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  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.

  

• quickjs

  65 7,609 9.2 C

  Public repository of the QuickJS Javascript Engine.

I would recommend using something like duktape or quickJS for simple scripting, and if your game needs to be optimized, bring the routine down to cpp. The advantage of JS is not performance, so if you absolutely require it, you shouldn't focus on it IMHO.
