This looks interesting. Are you the author? You could mark your post as a "Show HN". What are the trade-offs compared to QuickJS? I understand from the README that Sablejs is expected to be faster. Can code being executed inside i

It would be nice if the examples included an integration with an existing game engine. Game scripting is a very common use case for those languages.

Thank you so much. I was about to ask you for links, since they have multiple domains that look similar (kimi.ai, kimi.com, moonshot.ai, etc.). I wasn't sure which one was the legit one, or if they all are. The plan I got is called &qu

Zod is by far the most ergonomic way to express those ideas in TypeScript these days. I miss it when writing code in other languages. The friction with the rest of the ecosystem is real, though. Most code out there expects you to handle err

Surveillance is worse than slop. Also seems like an disproportional use of resources compared to free formats and editors we already have today. This product is in bad taste, and I hope it doesn't succeed.
