Study the v8 source code from the beginning and more.

Why V8 and why from the beginning? Link to heading

  • I’m working mostly as Javascript developer, but I’m also interested in C++ source code. V8 is perfect land for me to explorer interesting C++ concepts and to understand Javascript better.
  • Current code base of V8 is huge, I cannot jump right into it and learn everything. So I decide to go back in time to see V8 in its initial shape. Less toolings, hacks, optimizations… that I can not digest right now.

What do I’ve known before start studying V8 and you should too Link to heading

  • C++, of course (my level is about basic to low intermediate)
  • Algorithms and Data structure (important)
  • I read a book about implementing scripting language
  • Love reading people’s code 💯

If you are still reading Link to heading

Good luck to us. I don’t know where this will lead us to. I hope we can take some thing out of the ancient V8 that still valid in most recent versions.
