Right now we use NaN boxing that is derived from Hermes, a Facebook JS engine. This scheme is very portable and implementation is really small but its performance is not the best. What I want to do is to switch to what JavaScriptCore has. JSCs NaN boxing scheme is used in Escargot and a few other JS engines, it is also portable but at the same time there's quite a lot of code to implement it but I guess it is worth to switch to it.
