The V8 JavaScript Engine
The V8 JavaScript Engine is an open-source engine developed by Google, originally created for the Chrome browser.
It is designed to execute JavaScript code at high performance by compiling it directly into machine code instead of interpreting it line by line.
This makes applications run faster and more efficiently.
Bnlang uses V8 as its underlying execution engine. When you write code in Bangla, Banglish, or English using Bnlang, it is translated into JavaScript, and then executed by V8.
This ensures both compatibility with modern standards and high performance.
Key Features of V8
- Just-in-Time Compilation (JIT) → Converts JavaScript into fast machine code at runtime.
- Garbage Collection → Automatically manages memory by removing unused objects.
- Standards Compliance → Implements ECMAScript standards quickly.
- Cross-Platform → Works across Windows, Linux, macOS, and embedded devices.
- Optimized for Speed → Continuously updated with performance improvements.
Example: From Bnlang to V8 Execution
// Bnlang কোড
function শুভেচ্ছা(নাম) {
কনসোল.লগ("হ্যালো, " + নাম);
}
শুভেচ্ছা("আলিস");
Summary
The V8 engine powers the execution of JavaScript and, by extension, Bnlang.
It ensures high performance, memory management, and cross-platform support.
By leveraging V8, Bnlang can provide a modern, efficient programming experience while introducing multilingual inclusivity.
