A look at Project Tamarin
Quite recently Adobe donated their JIT compiler for ActionScript (an ECMAScript 4 compatible language) to Mozilla. I’ve written an article describing what this means to the future of scripting in Mozilla.

It’s always good to see major contributions to Mozilla, I never used to have very high opinions of Adobe, but they’re doing the right thing here so they’re going up in my estimation.

“doing so would generate a lot of goodwill in the community and” probably should be “doing so would generate a lot of illwill in the community and” in the last paragraph of the Tamarin article.

Thanks for spotting this. I had intended “doing so would destroy a lot of goodwill in the community” but sometimes when you proofread your own work you end up reading what’s supposed to be there, rather than what actually is there.

It’ll be interesting to see what this partnership will bring. A faster Firefox will benefit us all.
