The author of it popped up in the jq thread yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13091043

There is some awesome reusable bits here for embedding V8 in a rust application.[0]

I wish the build process was documented somewhere instead of just distributing binaries but it isn't shocking that it is probably a pretty complicated environment to setup.

The instructions can be found here: https://github.com/dflemstr/rq/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md.

So you'll need to fetch a V8 build and set two environment variables pointing to them but then it's just a regular cargo build.

If you're interested in the other way around, see https://github.com/neon-bindings/neon

Very good, thanks for sharing. In fact, last week I had the idea that there was room in the world for a tool like this.

This looks useful, I'll definitely try using it.

By the way, anyone knows why this was about to leave the front page so quickly?

It looks javascripty but doesn't npm install babel. I am so confused!
