Elk: A low footprint JavaScript engine for embedded systems

  A low footprint JavaScript engine for embedded systems (by cesanta)

  

This implementation is nuts. A decent chunk (but still very small subset) of ES5 in under 1400 lines of very readable C code. It includes a mark-and-sweep GC and an FFI.

It doesn't have an AST or a bytecode VM. It just interprets directly off of source code.

Take a look: https://github.com/cesanta/elk/blob/master/elk.c.

This implementation really sets a new bar for me in terms of compact-but-readable language implementations.

Separately, this isn't even Cesanta's only embedded JavaScript implementation. They also have: https://github.com/cesanta/mjs. This implementation is a bit more complete and is much bigger.
