https://bellard.org/quickjs/ It might a be a nice fallback, at least, if SM is missing or cannot be built for a particular OS/arch combination. RHEL 9 had stopped including the SM package, so we'd be back into building and maintained our own separate RPM for it. https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/4154 Moreover, SM keeps deprecating versions fairly aggressively and new stable versions keep changing the C++ API, which makes it unfriendly for embedding. For instance: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/4305 QuickJS has a few nice things going for it: * Codebase is much smaller than SM * Built for embedding and is already a popular WASM (JS-in-JS) target. * Supports ES2020 syntax * We can include/re-compile it right into couchjs and not have to depend on SM * It's possible to selective remove various ES6+ features when compiling it (Promises, Workers support etc). * It's possible to patch its parser to easily accept CouchDB map/reduce functions without the need for a full on parse-ast-transform-re-compile slowdown https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/3517 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
