I agree with you, the optimized C++ layout engine in every browser is where the line-breaking action is -- today.
But consider projects such as Bespin, or 280 North's Cappuccino, not to mention systems such as GWT and OpenLaszlo. Layout happens in JS too. In general with high performance VMs we are seeing more tasks formerly hosted by the C++ browser codebase being hosted in JS. It's a big, long-length wave of the future. /be On Jan 29, 2011, at 9:24 PM, Shawn Steele wrote: > I realize what line breaking's for, but I didn't think that would often be > done in JavaScript.
