Interesting gamble to build a whole company on top of what is effectively a wrapper for Bellard's work (qjs), wonder how it'll play out.

- rdtsc 4y agoNot OP but I was considering using it as well. I could see it going either way. If Fabrice stays interested in the project and keeps improving it, it could be a great win. If he moves on to other things, perhaps not. I've been looking at quickjs issues and forks and see a lot of random fixes from various people and most of them don't seem to be accepted or responded to: * https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/131 https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/131 * https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/130 https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/130 * https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/129 https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/129 * https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/123 https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/123 * https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/111 https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/111 * https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/103 https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/103 * https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/96 https://github.com/bellard/quickjs/issues/96 The mailing list doesn't seem to have a lot of responses either. So, it's actually hard to say. The first instinct is it's great to base a product on such a talented programmer's work, but it seems you should be proficient enough to debug and fix issues yourself to do that. No blame or slight to Fabrice, of course, I am always impressed by his work, and he certainly doesn't owe anyone any of his time.
