+# ViperJS
+
+Embeddable JavaScript engine in safe Rust, with zero runtime dependencies.
+
+* Repository:   [MerlijnW70/viperjs](https://github.com/MerlijnW70/viperjs.git) <span class="shields"><img src="https://img.shields.io/github/stars/MerlijnW70/viperjs?label=&style=flat-square" alt="Stars" title="Stars"><img src="https://img.shields.io/github/last-commit/MerlijnW70/viperjs?label=&style=flat-square" alt="Last commit" title="Last commit"></span>
+* LOC:          [103829](# "cloc --not_match_d='(?i)(test)' src")
+* Language:     Rust
+* License:      MIT OR Apache-2.0
+* Standard:     ES2023 (partial)
+* Years:        2026-
+* Interpreter:  stack-based VM
+* Regex engine: own (backtracking)
+
+Notable for what it refuses rather than what it adds: the dependency table is empty and checked
+in CI, the crate is `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]`, and no input may panic. `RegExp` is therefore its
+own backtracking engine rather than a crate, and there is no `require`, no `fs` and no module
+loading in the command-line host — the embedder provides I/O.
+
+The command line binds `print` and a `console` of six logging methods — `log`, `info` and `debug`
+to standard output, `warn`, `error` and `trace` to standard error. A run can be given a wall-clock
+budget that a script cannot `catch`, and a memory budget it cannot exceed, which is what makes an
+untrusted script safe to embed.
