This seems really cool! I know it's been mentioned before that there are no plans to rewrite SpiderMonkey in Rust, but this sort of feels like a tiny first step in that direction?
Almost reminds me of early on in Servo's history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6268521 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6268521
(Although I may just be projecting what I want to hear :) it's exciting hearing about new Rust projects, especially new stuff going into Firefox.)
- kibwen 9y agoYes, I think it's safe to compare this to the early days of Servo for now, in that one should not necessarily expect to see this in Firefox for the next decade, though the research and expertise gained from creating it might work its way in before then. Still exciting nonetheless!
