October 29, 2020 at 3:23 pm>>P.S. Why Xmetal dev team not planning to migrate to V8 javascript engine rather than actual Ms JScript ? Performance will be better.
In short, because V8 does not support COM/IDisptach/IActiveScript.
In order to use V8, the entire API binding has to be re-written. All the existing scripts are not likely going to be run under V8 by default (e.g., if the scripts use new ActiveXObject(…) or XFT forms or winforms or wpf).
The task is too big to consider at present.
