What is Spidermonkey v63
« on: May 15, 2019, 08:50:50 pm »
Hi,

I have just started playing with 15, and looking at the release notes i see there is a new JS engine.

Javascript engine updated

    Built-in javascript support updated to use the Mozilla Spidermonkey 63
    Provides new functions such as JSON parsing

But i cannot find anything about it, or what it is capable of. Mozilla only reports there being a version 57, wikipedia reports version 60.

Can you enlighten?

I believe it's the version of spidermonkey associated with Firefox 63.

The project doesn't see official standalone releases now.

Apparently that means it supports ES7.

Does that mean there is a javascript shell available somewhere?
