Faster than Light JavaScript by The Ajax Experience
What will JIT (just-in-time) compilation mean for JavaScript performance? See live demos and hear release plans for a Firefox-ready upgraded JavaScript engine, codenamed "TraceMonkey," based on the SpiderMonkey interpreter and the Tamarin-Tracing VM. Learn about the new JavaScript features being implemented in Mozilla's engines to inform the "ECMAScript Harmony" standards process. See advanced canvas-based rendering demos that take advantage of the new speed and features.
