Haha! That would be the final shutdown on javascipt code in QuickJS :)
In early versions, most of the QuickJS builtin library was written in
javascript. There were some advantages in this: the code was more compact and
more independent on the actual implementation of the runtime internals. It was
easier to make changes in the engine as they did not impact the library, but it
was slower and made the runtime instantiation more costly too.
We are very interested in use cases from programmers. We have tried to design
QuickJS for embedding in larger projects but have not used it in our own
projects extensively yet. The C API probably needs more work as well as the
JSCFunctionListEntry static object description and initialization system.
Thank you for your feedback

It would be nice if you could create a quoted version of a string, without
having to rely on "__quote()", it would also be nice if js_function_bind was
able to be called from C without having to call a JavaScript function
"bind()".
JS_ToQuotedString seems easy to export, the API is quite straight forward.
In case you wonder, I hesitated to make the Javascript binding a method of
String named toSource() as is available in Firefox, but not many engines
support this only for strings would have been misleading, We even considered
removing it, but it is used un json formatting and handy for displaying
values in the REPL.
js_bind_function() is more cumbersome to call directly from C, but why not,
except for the naming scheme...
What is your use case?
