Some notable features of Higgs include: - A self-hosted runtime written in extended JavaScript - Lazy/incremental JIT compilation Context-driven versioning of basic blocks - A Foreign Function Interface (FFI) system to interface with C code - An interactive shell (REPL) with access to low-level primitives. - A simple module system and a set of useful libraries.

I like these features. This is simply awesome.
