Leaner memory footprint and faster built-ins in EdgeHTML 17! Read about some of the cool stuff we did for JavaScript/WebAssembly performance 🚀.

@styfle@jdalton@MSEdgeDev YES you absolutely will! It is a high priority item on our roadmap, and when we implement it you'll see it show up in the ChakraCore repo.
We certainly welcome external PR as well.

Great Performance benefits when integrating @ChakraCore into Excel Custom functions running JavaScript. @hiteshk 'a team is doing amazing work on the JSC! #MSbuild
"FromVar hardening". This change to @ChakraCore back in Oct 2017 seems like it might have gone unnoticed. Good example of trying to address a class of vulnerabilities vs. fixing individual instances, in this case related to type confusions https://t.co/Zt2SAQVhpO
Congratulations to @AruneshC@ChakraCore for the successful deployment of N-API! Besides easing upgrades, it moves JS runtime diversity forward. Allowing for more memory efficient JS runtimes increases the reach of @nodejs and allows for higher density of containers/core! https://t.co/1ahDmyaMkh
"...instead of developers specializing their JavaScript code for the compilers, compiler implementers should focus on optimizing common, real-world code patterns that developers are using."
True dat 💯💯💯 https://t.co/k7VLPENvF5
Two years ago I was playing with the experimental 🐧 port of @ChakraCore. It was superfun! What is even more fantastic is that, quickly after that, Linux support was not experimental anymore as it's always part of the master branch 👍 https://t.co/avAVOWxyj5
ChakraCore is moving to ICU on all platforms which should make the output of Chakra/Edge's Intl APIs identical to other engines!
NB: with major implementations all aboard the ICU train, we may have to route through Defacto Standardsville before reaching our final destination.
