PCM/Threaded-C – a C-based package for scheduling continuation-passing-style threads on the CM-5; In April 1994 the three projects were combined and christened "Cilk". The name Cilk is not an acronym, but an allusion to "nice threads" and the C programming language. The Cilk-1 compiler was released in September 1994.
Node.js provides a way to create "add-ons" via a C-based API called N-API, which can be used to produce loadable (importable) .node modules from source code written in C/C++. [60] The modules can be directly loaded into memory and executed from within JS environment as simple CommonJS modules.
This enables developers to add web browsing functionality to their application, as well as the ability to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the application's user interface (or just portions of it). CEF runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It has many language bindings including C, C++, Go, Java, and Python.
Some programmers consider the "p-code" generated by some Pascal compilers, as well as the bytecodes used by .NET, Java, BASIC and some C compilers, to be token-threading. A common approach, historically, is bytecode , which typically uses 8-bit opcodes with a stack-based virtual machine.
A JavaScript engine is a software component that executes JavaScript code. The first JavaScript engines were mere interpreters, but all relevant modern engines use just-in-time compilation for improved performance. [1] JavaScript engines are typically developed by web browser vendors, and every major browser has one
Google created V8 for its Chrome browser, and both were first released in 2008. [4] The lead developer of V8 was Lars Bak, and it was named after the powerful car engine. [5] For several years, Chrome was faster than other browsers at executing JavaScript. [6] [7] [8] The V8 assembler is based on the Strongtalk assembler. [9]
SpiderMonkey: A JavaScript engine in Mozilla Gecko applications, including Firefox. The engine currently includes the IonMonkey compiler and OdinMonkey optimization module, has previously included the TraceMonkey compiler (first JavaScript JIT) and JägerMonkey. JavaScriptCore: A JavaScript interpreter and JIT originally derived from KJS.
In 2005, Mingw-w64 was created by OneVision Software under cleanroom software engineering principles, since the original MinGW project was not prompt on updating its code base, including the inclusion of several key new APIs and also much needed 64-bit support.
