    scheme is better define than emacs lisp.
    Scheme is based on the Revised 6 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme. It is a formal specification of what a minimal implementation of scheme should offer.
    Emac lisp is based on whatever emac lisp can run, it is a bastardize old school lisp mixed with common lisp, sprikled with a bit of scheme and a dash of weird smelling stuff.

    . There is huge instability seen only by people who open many windows and tabs, and leave them open for a long time. (It is not necessary to say you don't experience this bug if you don't commonly have 30 or more windows with 100 or more tabs open for several hours.

    That is not Firefox fault if some js programmers setup some badly designed caches that eat all your memory. What is Firefox supposed to do about the javascript objects into a memory structure ? Discard them randomly or demand more memory to the system ? Any browser would seam to leak if you use it with that many web pages open. In java we have WeakReferance for that kind of usage, but I don't think that JavaScript offer a similar functionality.

    I was not arguing against that. I don't hate vm, in fact I like them but to claim that they don't have a cost is bullshit as is the native speed claim. You could, at best, call it: close to native speed in some applications, that goes for NaCL to.

    and in nacljit, where they talk about platform independent SFI of self modifying code they admit :

    We found that the Mono and V8 platforms, and their x86-32 and x86-64 variants, spanned a wide range in terms of the porting
    effort required and the sandboxing slowdown incurred. At one end, Mono-32, porting effort was low and the measured overhead is near
    negligible. At the other extreme, V8-64, porting took a few weeks and sandboxing slowdown is between 51% and 60% on average,
    but 196% in one benchmark (due to a porting shortcut, as explained

    See, you do not get the full speed while sand-boxing non trivial program.

    However, our language-independent sandboxing does not aim to
    preserve high-level language semantics, and the implementation of
    our mechanisms is unencumbered by those semantics.

    This is kind of bad, but without any details on what was dropped we can't know if it really is.

    It sufces to extend traditional SFI techniques with a few new features, including new safety constraints that apply inductively on the structure
    of machine code, even across code modication.

    The article you pointed nacl_paper.pdf, proved my point, they limit the instruction to a subset of the full X86 capabilities...
    from p3 :

    reviously, such analysis
    has been challenging for arbitrary x86 code due to such
    practices as self-modifying code and overlapping instruc-tions. In Native Client we disallow such practices through a
    set of alignment and structural rules that, when observed,
    insure that the native code module can be disassembled
    reliably, such that all reachable instructions are identied
    during disassembly.

    And the halting problems is the impossibility of deciding if a given program will halt on execution or not. It is proven that for a Turing complete language (full X86 is) it can't be shown if an arbitrary program will halt or not. There is also another proof that enables you to reduce the analysis of any given property of a programs that must be preserved during is liveness to the halting problem. Sure, a class of program where it can be shown that it will halt exist but this is only a subset of all the possible programs.

    There is code verification

    If there is code verification for it to succeed, you must only allows a subset of X86 to be run else you run into the halting problem. If you only allow a subset you don't get native speed, you get the speed that your subset of instructions allows.

    multiple sandbox layers

    not native speed as to sandbox you must create a vm like system.

    a secure API

    Prove it, because of the halting problem isomorphism. A hint: design your API starting from proven math using a formal notation and prove that your generated implementation is correct if the CPU is behaving according to it's specifications.
