sjs's Introduction

sjs

Overview

Skookum JS, or sjs for short, is a JavaScript runtime focused on providing comprehensive POSIX APIs.

The motivation for this project comes from answering the question "how would a JavaScript runtime look like if there were no browsers?".

Features

  • Small footprint
  • Ecmascript ES5/ES5.1 compliant
  • Some post-ES5 features
  • Built-in Unicode support
  • Tail call support
  • CommonJS-based module loading system
  • Support for native modules written in C
  • Rich standard library
  • Binary name 25% shorter than Node

Acknowledgements

sjs would not have been possible without some other projects existing. Some served as a source of inspiration, some as a source of actual code, and the author would like to thank them all.

  • Duktape: The engine that powers sjs. This project would not have been possible without Duktape. :hearteyes:
  • Nodejs: World's most well known JavaScript runtime, definitely an inspiration.
  • libuv: A lot of the cross-platform code was borrowed from here.
  • Dukluv: Another JavaScript runtime combining Duktape with libuv.
  • CPython: Python's canonical interpreter was an inspiration, specially for the standard library components.
