This engine restricts JS in all of the ways I wished I could restrict the language back when I was working on JSC.

You can’t restrict JS that way on the web because of compatibility. But I totally buy that restricting it this way for embedded systems will result in something that sparks joy

He already has a JS engine which doesn’t make these restrictions

Since you’re on the topic, what ever happened to the multi threading stuff you were doing on JSC? Did it stop when you left Apple? Is the code still in JSC or did it get taken out?
