Rust Engine Builds ES2025 Spec Support
Summary
Developers are prioritizing foundational control by building custom language engines and search stacks rather than relying solely on large third-party services.
- Rust Engine Development - Brimstone is being written from scratch in Rust to fully support the ECMAScript specification, aiming for ES2025 compliance 1.
- Custom Search Infrastructure - A guide details building a simple search engine by implementing core indexing logic, bypassing proprietary solutions like Elasticsearch 2.
- Language Specification Focus - The Brimstone project explicitly targets full support for the official JavaScript language specification 1.
- ES2025 - The target specification Brimstone is being built to fully support 1.
- Rust - The low-level systems programming language used to write Brimstone from scratch 1.
- Core Logic - The focus of the alternative search engine guide: implementing indexing logic 2.
