A JavaScript Runtime in ~100 lines of code

If this is a JS runtime in 100 lines of code, a file with 'node\n' would be a single line JS runtime, just start it with 'sh runtime.sh' and make sure you have the nodejs executable in your path...

Kind of like 3D printing a badge with your name on it, gluing it to your car, and telling folks you built a car in an hour.

You cannot call it as a JavaScript runtime in 100 lines of code.

You are basically using deno's runtime. So it's not totally yours.

This is just a wrapper.

I have to admit that before opening this link i thought that it could be a kind of wrapper or using the V8 engine or something else.

hey guys just made a python runtime in exactly 1 lines of code in bash:

    function piython { python "$@" }

If you said "a JavaScript distribution" instead of runtime I think it would be clearer.

Node is a distribution of v8. Deno is a distribution of v8. Bun is a distribution of JSC. And so on.

It is just a wrapper..

100 lines of code seems misleading. How many lines of dependency code?

Deno relies on V8, which I'd wager is on the order of a million or more lines..

Well done

It appears Js runtime is the new Hello world!.

Anyway, like the sibling comment mentioned. It is not really a full runtime. You're using deno. The title made it seem like you had a Js runtime independent of an existing.

No, this is not how you do a runtime.

Here's my Lisp interpreter in a couple of lines of Rust: https://github.com/rpasta42/LambdaOxide

And here's the accompanying graphics environment for my Lisp dialect (with a couple of mini-games as an example): https://github.com/rpasta42/skomakare

This is what I call "writing your own runtime"

Saved you a click.

Here you go:

    #!/bin/sh
    deno $@
