Porffor: A from-scratch experimental ahead-of-time JS engine


Porffor is a unique JS engine/compiler/runtime, compiling JS code to WebAssembly or native ahead-of-time.

Porffor's WebAssembly output is much faster and smaller compared to existing JS -> Wasm projects. Porffor is written from the ground-up with AOT in mind instead of being based on any existing JS engine. Porffor supports TypeScript input, no clunky transpiler step needed: just feed it a TS file.
