Show HN: engine262 - the self-hosted JavaScript engine

engine262 is primarily designed as an interface for developing and verifying JavaScript languages features as they're added to the JavaScript specification. If you read through the source, most of the code mirrors the algorithms as they appear in the specification. As such, performance is an explicit non-goal.

Hopefully y'all get a kick out of playing with some future JS features too. I'm also working locally on a system for stepping through code, although it depends on SharedArrayBuffer, which is disabled in many browsers.

Fun example of specification parity: https://tc39.es/ecma262/#sec-object.fromentries vs https://github.com/engine262/engine262/blob/85fdf5b2dcd50269...
