If I have understood correctly (I’m a C++ graphics programmer. So don’t know too much about what’s flashy in the web world) V8 only jits. As in it can only produce machine code and there is not even an option to run it as an interpreter.

V8 has a high performance, JIT-less interpreter that disables TurboFan and relies exclusively on Ignition: https://v8.dev/blog/jitless
