Will Microsoft use V8 as the javascript engine then as well or continue to use Chakra? If they won’t continue to use Chakra, what happens to that project then?

Will Microsoft use V8 as the javascript engine then as well or continue to use Chakra?
If they won’t continue to use Chakra, what happens to that project then? It is open sourced and there’s work to make Node.js use it: https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore
All the more important to support Servo and Gecko – we can’t have all browsers be of WebKit origin – we rather need more initiatives like Servo, that reinvents the engine from scratch, optimized for modern environments.

- meandmycode 8y agoThey will be using Chromium (blink+V8) but intend to continue the open source development of chakra, but I suppose edgehtml is dead. Source: https://twitter.com/bterlson/status/1070754781822574592 https://twitter.com/bterlson/status/1070754781822574592
