Attila, I've been wondering, are you planning on trying to do version of Rhino with invokedynamic/ACL etc?
There's been a lot of buzz about TraceMonkey recently, and alot of people promoting it by arguing that HotSpot is 'too heavyweight' and because JavaScript is dynamic, it wouldnt do as good of a job as a 'specially designed' JIT (see http://ejohn.org/blog/tracemonkey/ for some amusing comments, including *"We just applied the most relevant research (Andreas's) to JavaScript. Sun would not and will not do that, because JS is not Java." *Seems Mr Eich is not aware of John's work!*). * Im hoping their critisisms will be proven wrong, so I'd be very interested to see how they compare. 2008/8/27 Attila Szegedi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Folks, > > as John Rose reported in his weblog, yesterday was the International > Invokedynamic Day: < > http://blogs.sun.com/jrose/entry/international_invokedynamic_day > >, defined as the day when (quote) "...
