------------------------------
Adobe has donated its ActionScript Virtual Machine code to the Mozilla
Foundation, kicking off a new open source project dubbed Tamarin.
Tamarin will be a component of SpiderMonkey, the core JavaScript
engine for Mozilla's Firefox browser.
Adobe's ActionScript offers a scripting language for the company's
Flash player. Flash technology is best known for its use by online
video websites such as Youtube and Google Video. The language is
similar to JavaScript and Microsoft's JScript.
Adobe and Mozilla expect that the donation will speed up the creation
of a standards based scripting language, promote the creation of
online applications and increase their performance on Firefox.
Scripting languages are at the core of today's Web2.0 applications.
The Ajax technology that forms the basis of Gmail and Flickr for
instance is an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML.
The Adobe contribution is the largest code donation that Mozilla has
received in its 3 year history.
