Is Narcissus dead?

[Ryan Birmingham]

While I can't speak to narcissus,  I see some other projects which look
somewhat similar.

JS-Intepreter looks like it's been updated in the last year, and is a
javascript in javascript implementation of some sort. (
https://github.com/NeilFraser/JS-Interpreter)
continuum implements ES6 in ES3, but it's only a year newer than narcissus.
