👀 You might be looking for language-specific bindings and packages such as those for Rust, C++, Python, Go, WebAssembly, JavaScript, or others.
The simplest way to get your hands on QuickJS Next Generation is to use the precompiled binaries and library artifacts from the GitHub releases page. The easiest way is to use a pre-packaged release via a C package manager/system like CPM.cmake, Conan, or Vcpkg.

You can also install & add this project using your other favorite C package management strategy. The public headers are in include/ and there's a CMakeLists.txt ready for use as a subproject. The project produces a qjs/qjs.exe and qjsc/qjsc.exe binary artifact along with a libqjs.a/qjs.lib static library artifact.
In October 2023 @bnoordhuis and @saghul decided to fork the QuickJS project with the aim of reigniting it. They reached out to the original authors (@bellard and @chqrlie) about their intentions.
As of December 2023 the initial goal was somewhat accomplished. @bellard resumed working on the project and both parties have been pulling patches from each other since.
As of early 2024 both projects agree the proper path forward involves merging both projects and combining the efforts. While that may take a while, since both projects diverged in certain areas, there is willingness to go in this direction from both sides.
