AJAX Future and Mozilla's TAMARIN
Jim Plush posted about the future of AJAX Applications and the latest Mozilla's TAMARIN. He pointed to the benefits of Tamarin integration with the Mozilla's JavaScript engine "SpiderMonkey" to allow javascript to execute much much faster than the current implementation. From the Tamarin's project website :
The goal of the "Tamarin" project is to implement a high-performance, open source implementation of the ECMAScript 4th edition (ES4) language specification. The Tamarin virtual machine will be used by Mozilla within SpiderMonkey, the core JavaScript engine embedded in Firefox®, and other products based on Mozilla technology. The code will continue to be used by Adobe as part of the ActionScriptâ„¢ Virtual Machine within Adobe® Flash® Player.
