Interesting!! I've been playing around with QuickJS lately and uses Elixir at work.

I'm interested to hear about your sandboxing approach running untrusted JS code. So you are setting an memory/reduction limit to the process which 100% is a good idea. What other defense-in-depth strategies are you using? possible support for seccomp in the future?

Running JS on the Beam VM, all written in C. I don't know if this is just cursed, or absolutely brilliant, either way I love it and will be following closely. Will definitely have to play with it.

This is very interest to me because we have accumulated a few node packages containing logic that services simply import. So in theory I could now use those node packages in elixir?
