Ant packs a JavaScript runtime and its ecosystem into a single 9 MB binary. Its engine was written from scratch rather than borrowed, yet the API stays Node-compatible, so real npm packages and TypeScript run without a translation layer in between. A VM-isolated sandbox handles execution that needs to stay contained, and Wasm support is built in rather than bolted on. The pitch is efficiency and simplicity, which also means betting on an engine that is entirely the project's own.
