Mozilla borrows from WebKit to build fast new JS engine #

Published 20 hours, 21 minutes ago.

, and

"The secret sauce that will drive Mozilla's new JavaScript engine [JägerMonkey] into the fast lane is some code borrowed from Apple's WebKit project. Mozilla intends to bring together the powerful optimization techniques of TraceMonkey and the extremely efficient native code generator of Apple's JSCore engine. The mashup will likely deliver a significant boost in Firefox's JavaScript execution speed, making Mozilla's browser a formidable contender in the ongoing JavaScript speed race."

"Up is the kind of film that everybody on my Facebook update feed loves. My mom loves it. My friend’s mom loves it. My sister loves it. The guy who sat next to me in 11th grade English loves it. My old coworker who posts too many applications and constantly invites me to be part of his ninja war loves it. And you probably love it too. It’s a film that’s almost impossible not to love."

It seems someone is a little upset that they lost to "skinny and weakling" hockey players. "We all know Canada has problems with the future lines drawn on Arctic maps and we all know Canada lives in the shadow of its larger neighbour to the south. The abject cruelty shown by Canadian soldiers in international conflicts is scantily referred to, as indeed is the utter incapacity of this county to host a major international event, due to its inferiority complex, born of a trauma being the skinny and weakling bro to a beefy United States and a colonial outpost to the United Kingdom, whose Queen smiles happily from Canadian postage stamps."

CoffeeScript #

"CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Think of it as JavaScript's less ostentatious kid brother — the same genes, roughly the same height, but a different sense of style. Apart from a handful of bonus goodies, statements in CoffeeScript correspond one-to-one with their equivalent in JavaScript, it's just another way of saying it."
