Previously: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2407334. The author seems to have taken a good look at some of the suggestions given there - or am I just imagining that?

Yes, I've certainly studied the suggestions made in those comments. This design document represents a sharp change in design.

Personally, I'd want to have a --disable-v8 option. If I'm writing a web application in C, I must have had tight speed/memory/code size requirements; a JSON-based v8-backed template language doesn't seem to fit very well. (Yes, v8 is pretty fast, but if it's fast/small enough for what I'm doing, I wouldn't be using C.)

You will be able to disable v8.

Have you considered LuaJIT instead of v8? Given you are using v8 as a target VM for compiling another language to javascript, and lua is quite similar, although if other javascript libraries are used that could be a major factor. (This is assuming you are writing Chrysalis/Stencil)
