Hey all, I would like to know if anyone here but me is interested in the prospect of a general standard library for JavaScript, that would finally make JavaScript available as a general-purpose programming language?
V8 is obviously well-suited for applications outside the browser space, and performance-wise it's already way ahead of other popular scripting languages. The only things that are needed are: *) A well-defined interpreter driver (shell.cc is a good starting point) *) A general-purpose standard library (IO, threads, sockets, etc.) I have a nearly complete implementation of a shell and an IO library (still POSIX-only). Does anyone know of similar endeavours? If not, would anyone care to join me in the epic quest to turn JavaScript general? :-P If there is interest, I can publish my work on github or similar. Yours, Simon P.S. I was at the Tech Talk at the IT-University in Copenhagen last Tuesday, and I must say: Congratulations to the V8 team, you have done a fantastic job! There is always room for improvement, but I am extremely impressed with what you have accomplished thus far, and I hope the rest of the community is as excited as I am about the possibilities this brings us. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ v8-users mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-users -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
