That's because this "Rising Stars" compilation is literally what the title says, a scraping of the number of GitHub stars each projects has received, and filtered by JavaScript, it seems at least. QuickJS is on GitHub, but it's mostly written in C, not JavaScript. And the authors, having the grand idea of scraping GitHub stars, didn't think of to look outside their echochambers of "dev influencers" nor just search for "javascript" on GitHub to do some manual good old research.
- megous 6y agoThey have a JS compiler written in rust in the list. :)
- capableweb 6y agoNot sure which one you're referring to, but esbuild (Golang) and rome (TypeScript) are also mentioned, probably because either dev-influencers on social media have been raving about them, or they have sufficient enough JavaScript code in their project to show up for the authors search.
