Prolly more like turkeys into chickens.
In the case of codes with a lot of dynamic message dispatch (Objective
C), Firefox's new JITed trace trees actually offer the possibility of
faster than ahead-of-time compiled native code. Not to mention that
LLVM (compiler toolchain of Alchemy) can do interprocedural analysis,
which mainline GCC does not yet do. Native code speed in a browser
without plugins, well, that sounds pretty good to me.
