It is more amazing given that QuickJS is not a single feat but a cumulation of his older projects, each of them is great by itself:
- TCC [1]: Of course, QuickJS is not the first language implementation he's written.
- Pi calculation [2]: Once the world record holder (and opening the era of pi computation in commodity PCs), this surely inspired his next great invention:
- LibBF [3]: A good and small arbitrary-precision number library. I think LibBF is a byproduct of NumCalc [4], and he has probably seen a way to the full language implementation using LibBF later (the current version of NumCalc is indeed based on QuickJS, sharing the technique used in the current version of JSLinux [5]).
