# ⚡️ QuickJS - A mighty JavaScript engine
Friendly [QuickJS] fork focused on reigniting the project.
## Overview
In October 2023 [@bnoordhuis] and [@saghul] decided to fork the [QuickJS] project with
the aim of reigniting it. They reached out to the original authors ([@bellard] and [@chqrlie])
about their intentions.
QuickJS is a small and embeddable JavaScript engine. It aims to support the latest
[ECMAScript] specification.
As of December 2023 the initial goal was somewhat accomplished. [@bellard] resumed working on
the project and both parties have been pulling patches from each other since.
This project is a _fork_ of the [original QuickJS project] by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon, after it went dormant, with the intent of reigniting its development.
As of early 2024 both projects agree the proper path forward involves merging both projects
and combining the efforts. While that may take a while, since both projects diverged in certain
areas, there is willingness to go in this direction from both sides.
## Getting started
