:I disagree with saying that JS engines are ''only'' implementations of the ES standard; the major ones now run WebAssembly too, which is standardized independently of ES. -[[User:Pmffl|Pmffl]] ([[User talk:Pmffl|talk]]) 19:29, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

::Ah yes, I see [https://v8.dev/docs here] "V8 implements ECMAScript and WebAssembly". What do you say of the following?

::"JavaScript engines are [[Programming language implementation|implementations]] of the ECMAScript standard. Some JavaScript engines also implement other language standards."

::Or maybe something like:

::"JavaScript engines contain [[Programming language implementation|implementations]] of the ECMAScript standard. Some JavaScript engines ''also'' contain implementations of other language standards."

::Or:

::"JavaScript engines often consist of an [[Programming language implementation|implementation]] of the ECMAScript standard. They may ''also'' contain implementations of other language standards."

::The main thing I want to prevent by rewording it is people thinking JavaScript engines are more than language implementations, which they're not (afaik). [[User:Niels.bom|Niels.bom]] ([[User talk:Niels.bom|talk]]) 16:40, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
