JSC definitely has things resembling isolates.

You're absolutely wrong here. A language must specify its semantics. Those semantics describe the safety properties of that language.

I agree.

Chakra uses a pure JIT approach? I thought they interpret both in JS and Wasm?

Re:Assembling WebAssembly on Tuesday June 06, 2017 @04:59PM (#14501281)
V8 used to do this. Now they have a JS interpreter called Ignition.
Re:Assembling WebAssembly on Tuesday June 06, 2017 @04:44PM (#14501154)
It's implementation dependent. Most implementations JIT Wasm up front (I think Chakra is the only engine that interprets). So, JS loads faster because almost all engines interpret first (all?).

I agree too. I wonder if this has been discussed at TC39.

FWIW, I don’t think this is accurate (not that it really matters much anymore). All the browsers were in the 90+% support around the same time.

How so? Go to: http://kangax.github.io/compat-table/es2016plus/ In STP or WebKit nightly

The Type Profiler and Code Coverage Profiler are all part of WebKit, not Safari.
