This mad man had the courage to present BOA a rust project at JS Conf. The project had it's spotlight taken by Bun and Deno. I also think the project was progressing pretty slowly from what people were expecting.
- afavour 11mo agoBun and Deno are in totally different spaces to Boa IMO. Looks like Boa is comparable to QuickJS in the small embedded engine space.
- nekevss 11mo agoWell the first two are runtimes built on top of JavaScriptCore and V8, respectively. So we're definitely in a different space. QuickJS/QuickJS-NG might be a better comparison, but I think they are limited in specification conformance or at least selective in specification conformance in favor of remaining in a single file and fast. For instance, I'm not entirely sure whether they will be supporting Temporal once it goes Stage 4 because of the size of the feature, and I don't think they support Intl. But I also can't speak for QuickJS.
- written-beyond 11mo agoDoesn't matter, they were more exciting and relevant for Devs.
- jasonjmcghee 11mo agoSeems pretty relevant- are JS Conf folks notoriously anti-rust or something?
- written-beyond 11mo agoIt was a notoriously rust heavy talk, I genuinely loved it.
