Funny to see this show up today since coincidentally I've had Claude code running for the past ~15 hours attempting to port MicroQuickJS to pure dependency-free Python, mainly as an experiment in how far a porting project can go but also because a sandboxed (memory constrained, to us time limits) JavaScript interpreter that runs in Python is something I really want to exist.

I'm currently torn on whether to actually release it - it's in a private GitHub repository at the moment. It's super-interesting and I think complies just fine with the MIT licenses on MicroQuickJS so I'm leaning towards yes.

Its got to 402 tests with 2 failing - the big unlock was the test suite from MicroQuickJS: https://github.com/bellard/mquickjs/tree/main/tests

Its been spitting out lines like this as it works:

  I see the issue - toFixed is using
  Python’s default formatting which uses
  round-half-to-even rounding, but
  JavaScript uses round-half-away-from-zero.

yt-dlp/youtube-dl used a python javascript interpreter to run youtube's JS until recently

idk how complete it is but it solved youtube's challenges etc for a long time

it would be nice if these tools named themselves something other than some random dictionary word, so you could tell what they are

what does graphite have to do with code review?

i don't understand how this is supposed to be better than a regular webring.

He says it's meant for small tightly-knit groups, but i can only imagine the technological enforcement of trust and identity being necessary in large groups that'll let anyone in

Great work! Perhaps not the appropriate OSI layer, but would be cool if this could pull the imgur blob from the wayback machine if unavailable on imgur proper. You'd still need this networking setup, as archive.org is blocked as well in the UK per ground truth from others on HN.

it isn't
