These are pretty surprising claims... As far as I know, V8 itself is written in C++, is this self-hosting parser faster than Node's parser?

- jaquers 6y agoFair point, though I read it like this, which doesn't make the claim _so_ bold :) > Twice as fast as other Javascript parsers (sic) written in JavaScript.
- _bxg1 6y agoYes, this was my interpretation too (should probably be made more clear). Most JS dev tools are written in JS (Webpack, Babel, VSCode) so there's a large use-case for a fast JS-native parser. It could also, theoretically, be run in-browser for a macro system or something.
