Of course, and thank you for taking the time to ask!
For the foreseeable future the aim will be rather on the QuickJS/DuckTape level than beating V8. But! That is only because they need to be beat before V8 can be beaten :)
I'm not rushing to build a JIT, and I don't even have exact plans for one right now but I'm not barring it out either.
If my life, capabilities, and external support enable it then I do want Nova to either supplant existing mainstream engines, or inspire them to rethink at least some of their heap data structures. But of course it is fairly unlikely I will get there; I will simply try.
