- jbaviat 11y agoHe is, which is a concern about the project's livability!
- occasionalreedr 11y agoThe code is pretty easy to grok. Well commented and supported by thousands of tests.
- jbaviat 11y agoAnd that's something that you can use as a JavaScript engine in Rails, thanks to ExecJS (https://github.com/rails/execjs https://github.com/rails/execjs) and Duktape.rb (https://github.com/judofyr/duktape.rb https://github.com/judofyr/duktape.rb).

- WorldMaker 11y ago«built-in CommonJS-based module loading framework» I feel like this sort of project seems like a great place to try to get ES2016 modules working from day one, where users a little bit less likely to have existing code they need to run. I realize the Loader spec [1] is still not finished yet, but a project like this could be a good use case to help push it across the finish line.
