Yes of course, I should have anticipated that. So one option left would
be to:
- compile the Javascript file for each architecture / platform
- link that "jex" to a portable dynamic library API
- run native containers (Hyper-V on Windows I think)
- run the "jex" executable in that native container
Hyper-V is not a container.
Containers are not completely secure. That's why we spent the engineering
effort of making the Clear Containers, so that the processor's virtual
machine
protections kick in.
And you could investigate NaCl.
I will but you get the idea.
Like I was saying, there was a bug in my code and perhaps it's
impossible for Javascript to run without a GC indeed.
But that doesn't mean that we couldn't run executables in one of those
specialized containers. And although I like the concept of these quick
function callbacks in Javascript, I do not like the 'escape analysis'
thing and I think this should be trashed because the ratio costs /
benefits isn't profitable enough.
Perhaps we could derive a new language from Javascript and C++ which
could be run inside these specialized containers. I already have a
parser and only minor changes are necessary. If people want speed then
there is no other way.
