It's an interesting idea, but V8 is very fast and QuickJS seems to be quite a bit slower ... I don't know if that would be a bottleneck or not? Could be an interesting thing to test.
I cannot vouch personally for speed (since V8 is broken for the platform where I test), but given that rstan
uses QuickJSR
, and rstan
is a very sophisticated and speed-wanting software, it should be pretty good.
QuickJSR
itself builds quickly, and Stan models work fine. V8
– well, last time I tried to fix it, and went pretty far with that, it took multiple hours before failing on a wrong assembler :) Admittedly, my PowerPC is no TALOSII, but it is a very heavy dependency.
@jtextor Maybe you could make a branch with a switch to QuickJSR? That would fix dagitty without compromising it for those preferring V8.
@jtextor Any update on this?
@jtextor
V8
is a very heavy dependency to build and it is broken for some platforms. Could we get rid of it? Possibly, replacing withQuickJSR
, likerstan
did?
