I have no intention to any means by opening this issue. Doing it just so you don't miss it.

Well, that's fun. Thanks for pointing it out.

For anyone on that thread who is interested, the point of this repo is to:

a) securely sandbox JavaScript so that untrusted code may be safely executed. b) JavaScript can be multi-threaded. c) code can be executed step-by-step with pauses (useful in real-time games). d) execution may be serialized and saved, then restored and resumed at a later date. e) code can be executed backwards.

JS-Interpreter quietly powers a lot of applications out there. Especially at Google.
