This was more meant as a quick and dirty "quick start" tutorial. The real equivalent to your link would Google's official embedder's guide @ http://code.google.com/apis/v8/embed.html. Thanks for the link nonetheless!

I've been playing around a lot with Rhino recently, making it do all sorts of interesting things. It was nice to get a quick example of how it looks in V8.

Maybe it's bad eyesight but every time I see a headline similar to this I misread "V8" as "VB" and scream inside my head "WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?!?!?!"

Is it possible to package this for npm (or something alike)?

I'm planning to write a follow up article that will explain just how to do that ;)

Also worth noting is the PyV8 project, which provides Python bindings to V8: http://code.google.com/p/pyv8/
