  1. saw this: https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto/issues/54 would like to allow others to run js on my server too. how much of a "vm" "isolate" is v8 being used or something? if the js code crash, will it take down the golang program too?

  2. how does this compare with github.com/rogchap/v8go?

trying to figure out what's the best way forward to allow others to run js on my server that's all.

This is for issues not questions, please use something like stackoverflow for questions.

That said:

  1. No this is native go, if the JS is broken it shouldn't take down the program, but to ensure this is case you can always use a panic recovery.
  2. I can't comment as I've not used v8go
