    JavaScript Visualized: the JavaScript Engine

    Roll your own JavaScript runtime

    The goal of this post is to build a (much) simplified version of deno itself. The goal is to create a CLI that can execute local JavaScript files, read a file, write a file and remove a file. In just 25 lines of Rust code we created a simple JavaScript runtime that can Execute local files.
