Top-level await · V8
Top-level await enables developers to use the await keyword outside of async functions. It acts like a big async function causing other modules who import them to wait before they start evaluating their body. The old behavior #When async/await was first introduced, attempting to use an await outside of an async function resulted in a SyntaxError. Many developers utilized immediately-invoked async
The V8 Engine and JavaScript Optimization Tips | DigitalOcean
V8 is Google’s engine for compiling our JavaScript. Firefox has it’s own engine called SpiderMonkey, it’s quite similar to V8 but there are differences. We will be discussing the V8 engine in this article. A couple of facts about the V8 engine: Written in C++ and used in Chrome and Node.js (and the newest release of Microsoft Edge) Implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262 The JavaScript Jour
How JavaScript works: Optimizing the V8 compiler for efficiency - LogRocket Blog
Alvin Wan PhD in artificial intelligence at UC Berkeley, focusing on small neural networks in perception for autonomous vehicles. Big fan of cheesecake, corgis, and Disneyland. Understanding how Javascript works is key to writing efficient Javascript. Forget about insignificant millisecond improvements: mis-using object properties can lead to a 7x slowdown of a simple one-liner. Given Javascript’s
The story of a V8 performance cliff in React · V8
Show navigation Previously, we discussed how JavaScript engines optimize object and array access through the use of Shapes and Inline Caches, and we’ve explored how engines speed up prototype property access in particular. This article describes how V8 chooses optimal in-memory representations for various JavaScript values, and how that impacts the shape machinery — all of which helps explain a re
Faster async functions and promises · V8
Show navigation Asynchronous processing in JavaScript traditionally had a reputation for not being particularly fast. To make matters worse, debugging live JavaScript applications — in particular Node.js servers — is no easy task, especially when it comes to async programming. Luckily the times, they are a-changin’. This article explores how we optimized async functions and promises in V8 (and to
Adding BigInts to V8 · V8
Over the past couple of months, we have implemented support for BigInts in V8, as currently specified by this proposal, to be included in a future version of ECMAScript. The following post tells the story of our adventures. TL;DR #As a JavaScript programmer, you now[1] have integers with arbitrary[2] precision in your toolbox: const a = 2172141653n; const b = 15346349309n; a * b; // → 333344445555
