Hello
Just wanted to share this here, quoting the author's hackernews post:
"... this is proof of concept how lightweight JS/ES2020 engine called QuickJS and lightweight GUI toolkit FLTK can be used to build multi-platform desktop applications...".

QuickJS is a small/embeddable _javascript_ engine by Fabrice Bellard. The advantage is that QuickJS can produce standalone executables, no need for nodejs to be installed. Also scripts can be run in script mode using the qjs interpreter. It also supports ES2020.
