Cool. What version of SpiderMonkey, if you remember?
I embedded SpiderMonkey into a set-top box test application (at work) with a web UI back in the early 2000's, about the same time I chose it for Synchronet's FTP server and eventually everything else.
And now, I think it's about time to remove JS support from Synchronet's FTP server! :-)

Ah, cool. I might take a look at v8 again, but I'm planning to update to the latest SpiderMonkey at some point, which is expected to be painful.
