# ⚡️ QuickJS - A mighty JavaScript engine | ||
|
||
Friendly [QuickJS] fork focused on reigniting the project. | ||
|
||
## Overview | ||
|
||
In October 2023 [@bnoordhuis] and [@saghul] decided to fork the [QuickJS] project with | ||
the aim of reigniting it. They reached out to the original authors ([@bellard] and [@chqrlie]) | ||
about their intentions. | ||
QuickJS is a small and embeddable JavaScript engine. It aims to support the latest | ||
[ECMAScript] specification. | ||
|
||
This project is a _fork_ of the [original QuickJS project] by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon, after it went dormant, with the intent of reigniting its development. | ||
|
||
## Getting started | ||
|
||
Head over to the [project website] for instructions on how to get started and more | ||
documentation. | ||
|
||
As of December 2023 the initial goal was somewhat accomplished. [@bellard] resumed working on | ||
the project and both parties have been pulling patches from each other since. | ||
## Authors | ||
|
||
As of early 2024 both projects agree the proper path forward involves merging both projects | ||
and combining the efforts. While that may take a while, since both projects diverged in certain | ||
areas, there is willingness to go in this direction from both sides. | ||
