## Caveats
go-ethereum uses the [Otto JS VM](https://github.com/robertkrimen/otto) which has some
limitations:
go-ethereum now uses the [GoJa JS VM](https://github.com/dop251/goja) which is compatible with ECMAScript 5.1. There are some limitations though:
* `"use strict"` will parse, but does nothing.
* The regular expression engine (re2/regexp) is not fully compatible with the ECMA5
specification.
* Promises and `async` won't work.
`web3.js` uses the [`bignumber.js`](https://github.com/MikeMcl/bignumber.js) library.
This library is auto-loaded into the console.
