Deno now ships an experimental QuickJS backend, and
deno compile/deno desktopgrew an--engine v8|quickjsflag to pick which runtime theproduced binary embeds (denoland/deno#36194). Nothing described it in the
docs, and the trade-offs matter before anyone ships a QuickJS binary: it
produces a smaller executable, but it is an interpreter with no JIT and does
not receive the same security updates as V8. The compile reference gets a
section covering the flag, those trade-offs, and the separate
denort-quickjs-<target>artifact it downloads; the CLI apps and desktopdistribution guides just link to it.
While in the compile reference, the supported targets table was missing
aarch64-pc-windows-msvc, which has been supported since Deno 2.9.3(denoland/deno#36004).
