Is GraalJS a fork of Node.js? Because I doubt Ry would write this article if he was one of the top contributors to GraalJS which is what this graph says: http

    No, not really a fork. GraalJS is a new independent from-scratch implementation of JavaScript. It uses a pair of radically different execution and optimisation techniques known as self-specialising-ASTs, and partial evaluation, and runs on the JVM. But a sibling project, Graal-Node.js, does include vendored code from Node.js in order to be compatible with Node.js applications. That's where the commits come from I'd guess. Compare: https://github.com/oracle/graaljs/tree/master/graal-js https://github.com/oracle/graaljs/tree/master/graal-js https://github.com/oracle/graaljs/tree/master/graal-nodejs https://github.com/oracle/graaljs/tree/master/graal-nodejs
