I've been building a novel JavaScript engine, Nova, with some friends, designed around taking data-oriented design to its logical extremes and seeing what comes out of the other end. The engine is still quite basic but it is not a comp

I'm basically in charge of maintaining and developing a product that (on purpose) started at 9 o'clock. We've resisted the call to implement loops and such in our DSL but I can hear the wolves howling and I doubt I have much

This is not strictly true. If you took a magic Rust wand to the whole V8 codebase that converted it into exactly the equivalent Rust code, Rust would definitely not help you one bit. But the code would also be filled with unsafe blocks. Man

deno_bindgen exists which can be used to do this from Rust. I have written a partial solution for C, though it is bespoke for my libclang bindings, and a very rough one for C++. Both of these require more work to really be ready-to-use tool
