| -In October 2023 [@bnoordhuis] and [@saghul] decided to fork the [QuickJS] project with |
8 |
| -the aim of reigniting it. They reached out to the original authors ([@bellard] and [@chqrlie]) |
9 |
| -about their intentions. |
| 5 | +QuickJS is a small and embeddable JavaScript engine. It aims to support the latest |
| 6 | +[ECMAScript] specification. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +This project is a _fork_ of the [original QuickJS project] by Fabrice Bellard and Charlie Gordon, after it went dormant, with the intent of reigniting its development. |

| -As of December 2023 the initial goal was somewhat accomplished. [@bellard] resumed working on |
12 |

| -As of early 2024 both projects agree the proper path forward involves merging both projects |
15 |
| -and combining the efforts. While that may take a while, since both projects diverged in certain |
16 |
| -areas, there is willingness to go in this direction from both sides. |
