gjs / seed status

[Danilo Cesar <danilo eu gmail com>]

Hi,

A while ago there was a discussion regarding seed/gjs situation in gnome[1].
I still can see some places using seed, but most use gjs.

I'm wondering if there's still a movement to "merge" the js-engine
effort (or deprecate one of them). Or maybe if is there something done
in that matter since 2011?

I've been checking how tied gjs is to spidermonkey (it's really deep)
and if a move to JSC would be possible.
I did find a list [2] (far away from official status, but still...)
and I see that  spidermonkey is a bit ahead regarding ES6
compatibility. So I'm  wondering: despite the huge effort and assuming
it's possible: Is it  something that will help? Does the Gnome
community back this kind of move?

BR,

Danilo
