Score: 4.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 3)

Forge is a minimal JavaScript runtime built on Mozilla's SpiderMonkey engine, implementing basic timing functions and an event loop. It's interesting as a learning project or foundation for custom runtimes, but currently lacks significant API support or differentiation from established runtimes like Node.js or Deno.

Target audience: backend devs
