Fall cleaning: Optimizing V8 memory consumption

JS is wanted unlimited memory consumption in the language specs. JS is good, but impossible for low-memory tasks.

It depends on your definition of "low-memory". The Kinoma XS JavaScript ES6 runtime[1] is designed specifically for low memory/CPU limited embedded devices, and runs very comfortably on 200 MHz ARM devices with 512 KB RAM.

Looks like that is ES5 only.

It currently scores 96.8% on the ES6 Compatibility Table hosted by kangax[1], which is pretty good. That's native, no polyfills or transpiler.

EDIT: Kinoma claims ES6 compatibility is at 98% as of 2016-01-02.[2]

I've run node tasks that run in pretty low memory... when processing streams I'll often use the command-line option to expose gc, and force it after each item... runs very light that way.
