    I wrote a book about the inner workings of the V8 engine. It's around 50 pages, and every page contains valuable information, there’s no bs or AI slop. I explain how your JavaScript engine turns human-readable code into bytecode and eventually into 1s and 0s, and how JavaScript manages its single-threaded behavior without breaking.

    I wrote everything in a way that anyone can understand. It’s the kind of book I wish I had when I was trying to learn how JavaScript really works and executes code.

    It’s free for 4 days. I’m not asking you to read the whole book, but I would really love to get your feedback.

    (I’ll delete this post after 3 days since after that it might look like I’m promoting a paid product.)

      Hey! I'm not a moderator, but you don't have to delete the post after 3 days.

      It's encouraged to share your relevant work, even if it's a paid product.

      Is there a way to buy/download the book without an Amazon account?

        Unfortunately, it's not available anywhere other than Amazon :( I'm sorry.

          May I ask why?

          Best of luck either way.

    I would have prefer a [java|ecma]script engine I can build with a simple C compiler like quickjs, mujs, duktap, etc.
