    This is interesting.

    Compacting garbage collector, written in very unsafe Rust

    This is super cool! I love seeing these new implementations of JS. boa is another JS runtime written in Rust as well.

    I’m curious how easy it is to embed this. Can I use it from another Rust project? Can I customize module loading behavior, or set limits on the runtime to limit CPU usage or memory usage or intercept network calls? Can I use it from a non-Rust project? Or is this intended to be a standalone JS runtime called from the CLI? I’ve been looking at Boa as a JS engine for one of my projects, but I’m open to checking out brimstone too if it’ll work.

        Bun uses JavaScriptCore. Deno uses V8.

        But yes it would be good to see a comparison to JavascriptCore and V8.

    There’s many components which could be split out from this JS engine such as Regex.

    I’d love to see how it passes all ECMA tests
