janl opened a new issue #1875: Update SpiderMonkey version URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1875 Follow up for: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1334 Very WIP branch here: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/tree/sm52 The plan roughly is to bring our SM dependencies to a new release, which means rewriting a bunch of our C/C++ goop that binds SM to our CLI tool. The newer version will not accept CouchDB-style function declaration as-is, but there are two options to deal with this: 1. the Chakra work included an auto-AST transform thinger to adjust things to we maintain backwards compatibility. 2. we bite the BC bullet, because the impact is mostly theoretical. Benefits: faster js, modern JS language features, fewer packaging woes.
