Echoing this. This is a very low-key status update for what was a pretty monumental, multi-year task, and we shouldn't let it go by without proper recognition.

This change is great because it gets rid of a web of JS that needed to be parsed and compiled down early during startup (which is a time when we need to be very selective about how much we read off of the disk and where we lend CPU cycles). Besides this, I believe it also takes out a big consumer of js-ctypes, which is (in general) a very good thing.

Wonderful work Barret, and to everybody who helped get this over the line!
