Where can I find information about Javascript engine internals?


I'm looking for books / articles / papers on Javascript engine internals along the lines of the many reference works about the JVM internals, CLR internals, etc. I could (and likely will) look at the source code for JavaScriptCore and V8/Chromium, but if there's a book out there or some other "guided tour" documentation, I'd prefer to read them first. Thanks.


Solution

  • One of the in-depth documents could be the ECMA-262 Language Specifications.

    A good book on the language's idioms and best practices is JavaScript The Good Parts
