Hermes Hacking: Demystifying JavaScript Engines - Radek Pietruszewski | React Native EU 2023

📖 About the talk
To many JavaScript developers, JavaScript engines seem like black magic. But they really aren't! They're just programs, like anything else, and you too can understand at a high level how they work, and even contribute. Let me demystify Hermes, and explain to you how its pieces - bytecode, interpreter, garbage collector, hidden classes, and more - all fit together to run your React Native app. We'll also take a look at Hermes's C++ codebase, and make a few changes, and compile it!
