That moment when your non dev friends are talking about V8 engine, and it takes you a few moments to realize they are talking about cars.

Vendor: this innovative flight management system will completely change the way private aircraft operates, using our proprietary V8 on chip scrpting engine [...]

switched from Atom to PyCharm

Deciding whom to sacrifice my RAM to ...

I built a view engine that relied on V8 for expression evaluation and flow. Not very stable of course, since it used RegEx, but it worked fine for what it was designed for.
The crown feature was the ability to pass in lazy-evaluated huge objects to that view model, so that the view model decided what was going to be used in order to display the view. Made it really flexible, while not sacrificing speed.

I was brainstorming for 2 days about the lazy loading part, and the gymnastics that had to be implemented for this to work.

After I wrote my final line of code and thought that this is it, I launched it, and it FUCKING WORKED! First try!
I was hyperventilating, walking around the apartment like crazy, doing random push-ups just to try to utilize some energy that I felt was fighting to burst out like a xenomorph out of the chest.

... 2 weeks later I found bugs. Had to re-learn how I did it. It's true what they say: if it was hard to write, it's even harder to debug. Fixed it eventually, but that part's not that exciting.

This freaked me out... I am watching a video when I decided to check out medium... And what is the top story about? The V8 Engine....

I am learning to use Node.js

1. Test coverage not consisting of flaky brittle tests
2. Native type checking in JS (v8 engine)
3. Less meetings.

Microsoft pushing to get its js engine included in Node, I thought forced win10 updates is where they would stop at. But then again maybe chakracore and Node will play along exceptionally well, maybe better than v8.

Does anyone know where I can find a nice tutorial on how to expose a c++ class to the V8 engine? I want to be able to call create objects, call their methods and modify their variables from a js script.

Most results on google are very outdated (5-6 years old) and I want to use a relatively new version of V8.

Also tried v8pp with V8 6.9, but many things don't work as they're shown on the github page.

Am i the only one who is tired of chrome based desktop clients ??? Come on ...
