This may be too early to ask, but are you targeting a near-v8 level of performance? Or more like quickjs or duktape?

In the beginning, when you read papers like this, it can be hard work. You can either give up or put some effort in to try to understand it. Maybe look at some of the other Jepsen reports, some may be easier. Or perhaps an introductory CS t

Serious question: why Rust? Sounds like this is not exactly systems level programming or any user would suffer from or even notice garbage collection latency. Is Rust building up a decent ecosystem now for application programming? When I tr

The author never actually says what is so wrong with JavaScript. I think it is quite a good dynamically typed language, and it certainly has some very high-performance implementations. If you don't like it, just use something else? &gt

If you are asking "well we could build this in 2 hours with low-code or 8 hours with rails" - then you are not the target market for low-code. To be able to build a rails app in one day takes years of skill and education and matur
