I've been waiting to blog about this for a long time now. A fantastic new improvement to Mozilla's JavaScript engine (SpiderMonkey) has landed. Code-named TraceMonkey this engine utilizes a techniques, called trace trees (PDF), which adds just-in-time native code compilation to SpiderMonkey. A major goal of the project has been to set JavaScript up to compete with natively-compiled code, rather than simply against other interpreters. This means that we're starting to see speeds that are ...Shared by aemkei (2) Alec Resnick (89) Andrew (2) ani625 (57) Arjun (33) atul (70) Azeem (19) brad (10) Breyten (15) Brian Landau (0) Bruno Campagnolo de Paula (10) Carl Fyffe (2) Cartwright Reed (5) Chris K (2) Claude (13) clementi (14) Clint Ecker (10) Colby Palmer (8) Compuwizard123 (16) Daemach (9) Danielle Fong (5) Derrick (0) Dexter.Yy (6) Diabolic Preacher (1) Edwin Khodabakchian (0) elmarco (5) evo (0) Florent Solt (0) FX Poster (5) g9yuayon (3) Gary Burge (2) hac0demon (19) Inferis (1) ionel (9) Jake Fudge (5) Jason Cartwright (8) Javed (62) Jeremy (67) Jesús Dugarte (3) John (13) Klemo (10) matpol (16) mca (12) met (8) mkrisher (3) OJ (0) pablo (12) Pavel Cvrček (3) Peter (2) Peter N (4) puthali (12) Rob (2) Ron (3) Scott (0) Sean (2) Sebastian Werner (15) sKiLL4 (0) Stephen Tse (2) ta2 (4) tig (27) Tim (4) Tim Disney (0) Vez (2) Voyagerfan5761 (15) xp (0) ysamjo (10)Explore read four notes- Sebastian Werner said: Nice, but we still need to wait for IE to improve upon these new standards.

After six years, Todd D. couldn't take the tedium anymore — his company refused to change with the times, and Todd wanted something more engaging. Seeing an opening at a publishing company, it sounded like the ideal change. He'd be going from a big software company to a more progressive publishing company with a software department; a good place for him to show his chops and actually make a difference.
