Quite impressive! I’ve been looking into Turbo alternatives so it showed up on my feed the right time.

One gripe with the name though is that I’m used to uTorrent’s and uws’s use of “u” for the “µ” character. So, my first guess would be to look for uJS to find this project, not muJS.

Thanks, looking forward to your feedback!

I deliberately chose the phonetic spelling 'mu' of the 'µ' greek letter, rather than the typographic approximation 'u'. The 'u' convention comes from ASCII limitations; when µ wasn't available, 'u' was used as a fallback. Since we're well past those limitations, 'mu' felt more accurate and more original.
