I think constructive criticism is really important for improving and opens discussion. ..... Anytime I question something its with this aim of improving the product or my own understanding.
And BTW my replies are not meant to discourage or silence you, it is just that it still looks like your technical suggestions are missing the context a bit.
There are some other javascript engines for embedded devices that target a bit higher hardware requirements that made different design decisions. Maybe thanks to that they are more future proof or feature complete regarding JS specs but they do not run so well on the hardware we have here.

Did not actually try to do something with them as they target Raspberry Pico and/or ESP32/ESP8266 which are not low power platforms like nrf52.

Yes I agree, I think constructive criticism is really important for improving and opens discussion. Bashing for the sake of bashing doesn't help anyone. Anytime I question something its with this aim of improving the product or my own understanding. Something I often fail to bring across in my wording.
Its really hard to not be defensive when you spend so much time making something so this is totally understandable. Especially when alot of comments have no positive intent and often lack context on why you made a certain decision (like with the hashmaps).
I would still implement assocs as hashmaps so they are future proofed for larger mem sizes. But I have no experience in creating compilers and I probably use assocs more as a dictionary than others might, coming from python and c#. You clearly have time constraints on this stuff as well and is a difference between perfect and good enough for moment.
