ErlyJS - Javascript on the Erlang VM
I got an email from Roberto Saccon:
I am working on a pure Erlang implementation of a Javascript compiler, targeting the Erlang VM.
[...] It is pre-pre-alpha now, but later on, might that be interesting for CouchDB, what do you think ?
"Hell yes", that's what I think.

When I first heard that someone was doing JS-on-Erlang, I didn't think there was much point. Without the concurrency primitives in the language it seemed very limited... but as an embedded engine for running code such as CouchDB views, it's a perfect fit.

I spent half of today getting CouchDB's SpiderMonkey to build on Linux powerpc/s390 and can say without reservation that I welcome anything which lets us remove it as a source dependency. ;)
