For a lowlevel runtime (ie V8 itself) I can accept certain lag since there might be some low-level differences in how signals,etc behave.

However for more generic code Linux'isms often signals a certain "works-on-my-machine" mentality that might even hinder cross-distro compatibility, let alone getting things to work on Windows and/or osX development machines.

I guess a Rust binding for V8 is a tad borderline, not necessarily low-level but still an indicator that there's a lack of care for getting things to work on other machines.
