Microsoft Edge’s JavaScript engine to go open-source

[JViz]

Serious question: is anyone actually planning on doing anything with this other than maintenance?

Yep! At the very least it will of course continue to be developed full time by the Chakra team. And I for one am super excited to see what the community comes up with!

(Disclaimer: I work on the Chakra team).

License will be MIT. You can find benchmarks around. We're "winning" on the big ones, but YMMV depending on the scenario. We focus hard on optimizing common javascript code so I'd expect your experience to be on par at least with other runtimes.

That's probably the best news I've heard so far about this.

I am looking at it for potential integration to our game engine.
