Did anyone else notice the references to the Javascript engine as a JVM? Excerpt from http://reviews.cnet.com/browsers/chrome-beta/4505-3514_7-33238322.html?tag=box
"Chrome includes its own Javascript Virtual Machine called V8. Google says that existing JVMs were designed to run tiny applets on Web pages, not full applications of the kind that Google makes today. Among the changes within V8, Chrome combines similar Javascript classes for better optimization, and it doesn't interpret Javascript but converts it to machine code to execute on the CPU, which speeds up the process. V8 is also open source and will be available to developers wanting to use it in the future." On Sep 2, 9:42 pm, Nathan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, it is marked as "Beta".
