Creating fragmentation will not necesarily be a good thing. Developers need to be aware of which vm is in use and if you release modules you will now have to build and test on Chakra too. 2x the build time at the very least. It is not all benefits.

- partycoder 9y agov8 plays well with others. I usually read JS documentation from Mozilla's Developer Network and works as documented in v8. On the other hand we all know what happened with Microsoft had the majority of the JS market share. No need to go back to that. Microsoft had a chance and they wasted it. They got the keys of the car for a night and they got drunk in it and crashed it.
