A post for the geek in your life, which might be you anyway. Ludvig Liljenberg has written a post about creating a C-based function "micro-VM guest" for #hyperlight: with #QuickJS!! https://opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/03/10/build-a-hyperlight-c-guest-to-securely-execute-javascript/
Understand how -- and how fast -- you can protect an arbitrary .js file. Then run a bunch of things to test how it works!
🐛 We began writing about our @sovtechfund bug resilience partnership, starting with our Sept 2023 contributions to #Sequoia-PGP and later #OpenPGP.js
🆕 @couchdb 3.4.2 came out! We held a Meetup to introduce #Nouveau and #QuickJS: https://vi.to/hubs/couchdb-berlin
#CouchDB 3.4.2 is out! 🎉
We held a Meetup recently to take a look at the big 3.4.0 feature release that includes #QuickJS and #Nouveau (full recordings: https://vi.to/hubs/couchdb-berlin).
While the Neighbourhoodies worked with Nouveau to prepare presentations, we came across 6 bugs that get fixes in this release — shoutout to Alex Feyerke for finding them! Haven’t upgraded? You’re running out of reasons not to 😉 As always, if your team need help, reach out.

@mre Another project that embeds JS inside #WebAssembly through #QuickJS is https://github.com/justjake/quickjs-emscripten by @jitl. I find Jake's solution particulary interesting for its "asyncify" feature, allowing you to expose asynchronous functions into QuickJS that the embedded JS code can access as if they were synchronous. The feature is based on Emscripten's ASYNCIFY and suspends the WASM execution while awaiting a promise.
🎥 We’re going live shortly ⭐

We have updated and switched to use quickjs-ng in radare2, which is a fork of quickjs, but quite more updated and active. The main reason is for maintainance and portability reasons, so we can just upstream our patches 🔥 Kudos to @satk0 for the integration work! #quickjs #javascript #radare2
