README

Brief

My furthest attempt yet at implmenting a subset of JavaScript, specifically ES5 with cherry-picked ES6+ features, in modern C++. Abandoned due to burnout and fatal design flaws in the reference system.

Required

• Clang 21+ (just the Homebrew distribution for now)
• CMake 4.2+
• Ninja

Caveats / Quirks

• No eval().
• No automatic semicolon insertion.
• No arguments, but rest parameters are given.
• No BigInt.
• No Promise API yet.

Usage

1. Give ./utility.sh run permissions.
2. Run ./utility.sh help to see info on building, sloc count, etc.
3. Run ./build/derkjs_tco -h for help if you've successfully built the TCO intepreter version.
