I see a few mentions of QuickJS, but they all refer to the fork of Bellard's QuickJS https://bellard.org/quickjs/, which I think deserves a mention. It seems to be still active (last release 2025-04-26, GitHub mirror at https://github.com/bellard/quickjs shows some activity). - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
This is a fantastic approach. BTW, it looks like the js engine is "QuickJS" [0]. (I'm not familiar with it myself.) I like it because sqlite by itself lacks a host language. (e.g., Oracle's plsql, Postgreses pgplsql, Sqlserver's t-sql, etc). That is: code that runs on compute that is local to your storage. That's a nice flexible design -- you can choose whatever language you want. But quite typically you... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
And some lightweight alternatives like Bellard's QuickJS (https://bellard.org/quickjs/) in C and Kiesel (https://kiesel.dev/) in Zig. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Built on a highly optimized JavaScript runtime powered by QuickJS, Query offers fast startup times and efficient execution. Its built-in caching mechanism further enhances performance by storing function responses, reducing database load and latency. This focus on speed makes Query a standout choice for server-side rendering, especially in applications with many components. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago
Which JS VMs have you tried embedding? People in this thread have suggested https://github.com/Moddable-OpenSource/moddable, and https://duktape.org/, but I haven't tried any of them. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
The compiler looks to be here: https://github.com/rui314/8cc. Source: almost 3 years ago
Yes, C can be simple for writing a compiler. [0][1] No, optimisation, on the other hand, is not a simple problem. [0] https://github.com/rui314/8cc [1] https://github.com/rui314/chibicc. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
Implement a compiler for a subset of C. This doesn't need to be self-hosting, but bonus points if it is. Here's an example of what it can look like: https://github.com/rui314/8cc. Source: over 4 years ago
While this is an impressive work, I feel that there are a lot of "tiny" C compilers out there; how is yours any different than SmallerC, TinyC, 8cc, chibicc and many others? Source: over 4 years ago
Great question. Here are some candidates: * https://github.com/rswier/c4 * https://github.com/Fedjmike/mini-c * https://github.com/rui314/8cc * https://github.com/rui314/chibicc * https://github.com/aligrudi/neatcc Some of them are actually interpreters, and I personally would be interested in actual compilers that generate machine code. - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago
