   Have the #V8 (or #SpiderMonkey for that matter) devs started caring about any use other than the browser yet, or are the #NodeJS devs still spending most of their time fixing breakage caused by V8 API changes?

   Alternatively, is there a #Javascript implementation with performance comparable to V8 or SpiderMonkey that is targeted at applications other than the browser?

     @freakazoid JavaScriptCore has supported running outside the browser for a long time. When built with LLVM 15+ on ARMv8.3+ it’s one of the most hardened JITs out there, and it’s pretty dang fast.

     Bun is a Node-like runtime written in Zig that offers JSC with batteries included.
