Comment by randyrand 3 years ago Chrome and Safari both have open source JS engines… 3 comments randyrand Reply userbinator 3 years ago That's beside the point. Open-source is not useful to the smaller players if it is too complex to comprehend and constantly churned. kelnos 3 years ago That's not the case, though. There are even python modules that let you evaluate JS code in v8 (Chrome's JS interpreter). It'd be pretty trivial for youtube-dl to make use of that if the author thought it was worth doing. sylware 3 years ago It is the case, not too mention v8 pulls in an extremely expensive c++ compiler in the SDK while quickjs can compile with tinycc.Open source is not enough anymore, "lean" open source is the way now, SDK included.
