What is lo? #48
|
Could you please tell me what it is? I've read the "About" section and the README file, and they don't give a clue as to what it is. |

it's basically ECMAScript plus low level api's with no guardrails. no node api's. no typescript support (but that wouldn't be difficult to add). easy code generation for bindings to C api's. cross platform FFI with no dependencies and ability to generate machine code directly from JS. and yes, it needs documentation. and i have tons of examples and benchmarks to check in. |

Really appreciate your efforts. Keep up the amazing work and best of luck! |
|
there is also a tentative plan, if i ever get time, to allow building against different JS engines - SpiderMonkey/JavaScriptCore/QuickJS/Porffor etc.... |
|
I'm really interested in the porffor part 👀 |
|
Basically, if we get porf integrated with lo, we might be able to build applications with close to native performance with js 👀 Also static binaries without including v8! |

Very interesting. Curious about this low-level Javascript. |
I'd say it's pretty much hazmat if you don't know what you're doing haha! Good luck! |
