The original comment was about separating components out for reuse in other projects. He wasn’t wondering why http wasn’t part of the js engine, that was just the example he chose
I don't see how any part of quickjs engine itself can be used in other projects. It all looks highly tailored to quickjs, aside from things that are already separated.
Lots of parts can be used separately! The parser for code analysis or refactoring tools, the JIT to accelerate programs (anything state machine based for example is pretty much like a VM), the garbage collector to embed in other programs (especially interpreters). I mean… these are just the most obvious, there are many more use cases.
