+1. Where the spec is already almost pseudo-code, its readability would improve if it was, in fact, pseudo-code. But would an extra interpreter be needed or couldn’t one just implement the ES-262 constructs (execution contexts etc.) in an existing language (Python, Rust, Scheme, Smalltalk, etc.)? Might make the algorithm testing harder, though.
