Usually I watch your stuff very closely (and positively) because you're pushing the edges of how LLMs can be useful for code (and are a lot more honest/forthwright than most enthusiasts about it Going Horribly Wrong and how much work you need to do to keep on top of it.) This one... looks like a crossbar of random things that don't seem like things anyone would actually want to do? Mentioning the sandboxing bit in the first post would have helped a lot, or anything that said why that particular modes are interesting.

Yeah, I failed completely to explain the context here.

I'm currently on a multi-year side-quest to find safe ways to execute untrusted user-provided code in my Python and web applications.

As such, I pay very close attention to any new language or library that looks like it might be able to provide a robust sandbox.

MicroQuickJS instantly struck me as a strong candidate for that, and initial protoyping has backed that up.

None of that was clear from my original comment.
