Expose API to Deno

[littledivy]

Deno is another runtime for JS/TS written in Rust similar to Node.js

There is no such JS parser for Deno that can be used as a library. Also, since Deno uses v8 bindings exposing them will not be ideal. I find Boa quite useful for Deno devs who would want to compile JS (just like how acorn does on Node.js)

Bindings to Deno can be either provided using deno_core crate or by compile to WASM. As an example: https://github.com/divy-work/autopilot-deno

If you guys approve, I'll be free to open a PR here!

@divy-work sounds like its approved if you wanted to experiment with this

[jasonwilliams]

@littledivy are you still interested in doing this?

[littledivy]

@jasonwilliams sorry for the late reply, I'm busy with my classes and other projects these days :(

https://docs.rs/v8/latest/v8/ This is the crate deno uses to interact with V8, I think it would probably be a nice source of inspiration.

Closing this. Nowadays, there are a lot of other options for parsing, so we don't need to offer an API just for parsing JS from Deno.
