Mozilla's New JavaScript Engine Coming September 1

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the believe-when-it-parses dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla has reached an important milestone as its new JavaScript engine, 'JaegerMonkey,' is now faster than the current 'TraceMonkey' in a key benchmark. Mozilla wants JaegerMonkey to be faster than the competition and launch on September 1, which means that JaegerMonkey will make it into Firefox 4.0."

    It's not exactly a huge leap of innovation, since monkeys already writing Javascript.

    I can't explain some of the code I've seen, otherwise.
