Chakra is still bundled with windows, and is still updated with windows updates (although haven't checked yesterday's update)... what makes you think it's deprecated (edge's move to v8? Will that replace the underlying stuff in windows), or in maintainence mode?
I cant see any official mentions of either, and still seems to be getting updates...
- skrebbel 7y agoSure, it's not official, but it's pretty obvious I think: Edge is moving to Chromium. I'm sure Chakra will continue to be bundled with Windows somehow, eg in IE and whatnot, but if you look at Chakra's recent release history in GitHub, it's all security patches. And it makes sense, why would MS invest in a JS engine it's not planning to use?
- warpech 7y agoRelevant discussion about ChakraCore https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/5865 https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/issues/5865 TLDR ChakraCore is entangled in Microsoft's platforms like UWP, so it must be maintained, but forward development beyond maintenance is uncertain.
