| I’m sure you can. This is much more of a modern solution than Lua was in the 90s. |

| Depends what you consider modern? You get a much better isolation model with Lua because you can use separate Lua VM (isolates), explicitly expose only what's needed, and set your resource limits for them. |

| ▲ | Rohansi 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | You don't have to write Lua. As you've already said in a different comment, it isn't a problem in QuickJS because it has memory limiting built in. IMO that's the right way to do this - instead of transpiling JS to try and make it safe you should run it in a virtual machine like QuickJS/Lua/etc does. |
