I was wondering whether or not it would make sense to make HashLink either the VM or an optional VM for Krom. On the HashLink website it says that it has tested to out-perform V8. I know we switched to Chakra recently, but maybe it's worth benchmarking Chakra and HashLink to see if HashLink is faster. HashLink might make the Krom binary and the bytecode smaller than it would be with Javascript, too.

I'm not sure exactly how debugging would work or how much work it would be to get HashLink in Krom, so maybe it isn't worth the effort, but I couldn't resist asking about it.

Chakra and V8 outperforms even HL/C in most situations in all benchmark summaries I've seen (like https://twitter.com/jdbaudi/status/789231337467174912 and https://twitter.com/jdbaudi/status/789513120611987456 and in benchmarks Lubos did in Armory) - I don't know why that claim is still on the HL website, it seems rather strange. So, no, doesn't make sense. Krom uses a JS runtime because those are by far the fastest runtimes around for Haxe - and they are still getting faster.

Thanks again for your quick and helpful reply.
