C API
For C/C++ based JavaScript interpreters, being able to interface easily with C libraries is a big win because of all of the available functionality. Each JavaScript interpreter has its own bridge to C, but if there is some common API (possibly exposed at the JavaScript level as in ctypes), then this will make it much easier to share work between interpreters.
