alt Hacker NewsAs far as I can tell they pull in QuickJS (actually quickjs-ng) only in the case where the program has untyped dependencies that still need to be run by an interpreter - and they chose that library because it's pretty small (620KB). Did I miss something, are they using it outside of that purpose?

This phrase I think highlights the fundamental issue for a lot of folks that would otherwise consider adopting a project like this written by humans.
They will have untyped dependencies. That’s how the TS/JS ecosystem works.
Note that “untyped dependency” means any code that says `any`.
