Isn't QuickJS order(s) of magnitude slower than V8? That doesn't seem like a practical tradeoff to make outside of embedded.

Like I said, I wasn't sure of their requirements. I can say QuickJS is orders of magnitude easier to embed and understand than V8, which is why I adopted it for my use case.
Thanks for sharing that info!

Would like to see more runtime independent JS project such Hono. Although I'm not sure if it supports QuickJS.

Depends on what you are doing and what your needs are .. the gp comment was about the size.
