v8 powering Firefox, who would've known...

[Ygg2]

Actually, v8 powering a Firefox OS simulator IIUC.

... IIRC , there is a node-spidermonkey version,but Mozilla doesn't seem to be interested in working seriously on that project. Which is crazy because one would expect Mozilla to do exactly that.

Last I heard, the node guys were quite adverse at maintaining both node-v8 and node-spidermonkey. I don't blame them ;)

And that doesn't help that the people who started node-spidermonkey left Mozilla and afaik can't contribute to open source projects that are not explicitly vetted by their current employer.

I'd rather see the node-servo version ;)

As far as I understand, Servo will come with a WebKit embedding API, so the possibilities are pretty much endless.

[fabrice_d]

Servo uses spidermonkey as JS engine, so I don't think it brings anything in a "run js headless" context.

Although it's possible that some of the changes required to integrate Spidermonkey and Servo might make the former easier to embed?

[Ygg2]

True, but mostly because writing a JS engine from scratch is hard although not impossible.

Yeah. There's an idea.
