It's impressively compliant, considering it's just a one man project! Almost as fully featured as Boa, plus or minus a few things. And generally faster too, almost double the speed of Boa on some benchmarks.

Memory safety is one of Rust’s biggest selling points. It’s a bit baffling that this engine would choose to implement unsafe garbage collection.

The whole point of unsafe is to be able to circumvent the guardrails where the developer knows something the compiler isn't (yet) smart enough to understand. It's likely that implementing a high-performance GC runs afoul of quite a few of those edge cases.
