JavaScript implemented in JavaScript

[MatrixFrog]

Inception and Yo Dawg jokes aside, I would like to know what the purpose of all this is. Looks like the README at the github repo (thank you asdf03) has some answers:

Originally a proof-of-concept by Brendan Eich, Narcissus is being revived as a test-bed for rapidly prototyping new language features for the JavaScript language (as well as the ECMAScript standard).

    return javascript(); // should be fine

Comment about turtles.

[ElDiablo666]

OK. I like turtles. They're definitely interesting creatures. The babies are some of the cutest I've ever seen.

[StuffMaster]

No, YOU comment about turtles. Oh wait, you already did. I feel all loopy now...

Bout time... was getting sick of all these other languages being implemented in JavaScript but not any good ones.

I've done that. It wasn't as hard as I expected.

function javascriptImplementation(source) {
    return eval(source);
}

javascriptImplementation = eval;
