deno
A JavaScript runtime using V8 6.8 and Go.
Supports TypeScript 2.8 out of the box.
No package.json, no npm. Not backwards compatible with Node.
Imports reference source code URLs only. import { test } from "https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/testing.ts"
import { log } from "./util.ts"
File system and network access can be controlled in order to run sandboxed code. Defaults to read-only file system access. Access between V8 (unprivileged) and Golang (privileged) is only done via serialized messages defined in this protobuf: https://github.com/ry/deno/blob/master/msg.proto This makes it easy to audit.

Always dies on uncaught errors.
Supports top-level await.
Aims to be browser compatible.
Can be used as a library to easily build your own JavaScript runtime. https://github.com/ry/deno/blob/master/cmd/main.go
Status
Segfaulty.
Compile instructions
I will release binaries at some point but for now you have to build it yourself.
You need Protobuf 3. On Linux this might work:
cd ~
wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.1.0/protoc-3.1.0-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip protoc-3.1.0-linux-x86_64.zip
export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
Then you need protoc-gen-go and go-bindata and other deps:
go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go
go get -u github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...
go get -u ./...
Installing v8worker2 is time consuming, because it requires building V8. It may take about 30 minutes:
go get -u github.com/ry/v8worker2
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ry/v8worker2
./build.py --use_ccache
You might also need Node and Yarn.
Finally the dependencies are installed.
Now you can build deno and run it:
> make
[redacted]
> ./deno testdata/001_hello.js
Hello World
>
make commands
make deno # Builds the deno executable
make test # Runs the tests.
make fmt # Formats the code.
make clean # Cleans the build.
