mccI want a JavaScript interpreter written in wasm but I don't know how to convince anyone reading this that this isn't a joke
lambdageek@mcc I wonder if something like this will run on .NET WASM https://github.com/sebastienros/jint
@mcc Nerd sniped
https://lambdageek.dev/wasmbo/
@lambdageek Oh wowww
Just out of curiosity, how large is this, disk-space-wise
@mcc 9.8 megs without really doing anything to optimize for size. (it does run the IL trimmer with some default settings, but I don't remember if it's super-aggressive or if it just keeps any referenced assemblies)
@lambdageek That's actually not so bad. The C# web-izer has come a long way.
So what I was originally hoping to do, just so the original prompt doesn't seem weird, was the possibility of running js "sandboxed" inside of a web page, like imagine mastodon allowing user scripts within posts…
@mcc Yea that makes a lot of sense actually.
up-thread @zemlanin suggested compiling QuickJS with Emscripten by hand, and that probably makes more sense if you're doing this seriously and don't have other .NET dependencies in play.
And apparently someone already did the compiling part https://www.npmjs.com/package/quickjs-emscripten
