So it seems you'll need to choose Blink+v8 or WebKit+JSC, I had thought WebKit+v8 was relatively common but perhaps its just Google.

Phantom.js does use WebKit+JavaScriptCore, though they were musing about moving to V8: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/phantomj...


I was expecting something similar, but looking at the responses it seems like it was just there mostly for google. Any way , supporting v8 on webkit would be a burden when it's main developer is no longer there.


Opera planned to adopt WebKit+v8, but since they are moving to Blink they will be fine.


Opera was planning to move to Chromium all along, not WebKit. So it was a given they would be using v8.


Also, given how recent Opera decided to switch to Chromium, surely they knew about Google’s plans?
