Re: JS engine(s) provided by gnustep

Hi,

As far as I know, no one has ported JavaScriptCore to GNUstep. It might not b=
e a huge amount of work but that last time I looked at it (ten or so years a=
go) the build system for JSC conflated a lot of things in the Apple paths th=
at would need disentangling if you want the Cocoa bits but ELF and the Linux=
 calling conventions, for example.

If you don=E2=80=99t care about performance, there are a couple of small Jav=
aScript interpreters (jsQuick and DukTape) that would be fairly easy to brid=
ge to Objective-C. I played with using DukTape and GNUstep ages ago and it l=
ooked as if it would be quite easy to add an implementation of the APIs that=
 JSC exposes on macOS, but it would give around 10% of the performance.
