Hard to say at this point, but I really doubt it will be ever faster than SpiderMonkey or V8 with JIT enabled. Modern JavaScript compilers are quite good at optimizing hot paths through JIT. The use case of this project is to be able to run JavaScript in WebAssembly sandboxed environment. Like, for example Shopify allows you to extend their backend code using WebAssembly, but there is a binary limit capped at 250KBs. At that size you can't really use JavaScript at the moment, cause even simple interpreters like QuickJS take a few MBs compiled to WASM.
