So they won't let you do eval but don't mind a whole VM? This doesn't sound right, unless eval touches something deeper and might pose a security risk, while the VM runs inside the normal sandbox. Can you elaborate a bit, or hint at further resources? It sounds fascinating.

- sebazzz 4y agoIt sounds a bit useless as the entire "window" variable is passed - which basically gives it access it anything.
