Why the name lo?

[TimiBolu]

I was wondering why the name.

haven't decided on a name yet. thinking lo.js for "low level". i think i will keep everything under the "just-js" org. then there will be a low level runtime/sdk for embedders and low level hackers. and possibly a higher level one of there is interest in that.

other possible names

• spin
• replace "just" with this project
• smol
• ffast

feel free to make suggestions.

I actually think lo sounds nice. Thinking of it from a low-level. js perspective. It will be great to find out what others think

I go with lo.js @billywhizz it’s cool

I like spin. It signifies an action, for example spin rm.js

for now, am going to create the following repos. this can change later but i think it works well.

just-js/lo - this repository - for the low level set of primitives and bindings for system interfaces and common libraries. this will be useful for folks who want to do lower level work directly against system/library api's in JS and/or want to build their own runtimes just-js/hi - a project build on top of just-js/lo which provides higher level abstractions for writing more standards compliant code cross platform - should implement a significant subsection of the wintercg proposals - to be discussed. not a high priority rn. just-js/v8 - the v8 monolithic library builds for various common platforms
