Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
StarlingMonkey is a JavaScript runtime that embeds the SpiderMonkey engine inside a WebAssembly component, implementing standards-compliant web APIs such as fetch and streams so ordinary JavaScript written against familiar browser interfaces runs unmodified. It pairs with an ahead-of-time compiler that turns JavaScript into WebAssembly bytecode before execution, for faster startup than a cold interpreter path.
