At the Perl Conference this year, I vaguely remember a talk being scheduled
to discuss an open source Java(ECMA)Script implementation called "Tibet",
if I recall. I missed the talk, tho, as I couldn't find the room.
I've always meant to do something like whipping up a JavaScript
interpreter, but I have a bad feeling it'd involve having to cater to all
sorts of idiocies in the implementation of JS under MSIE and Netscape. And
I have very little patience for that twisted little wreck of a language.
But on a lighter note: I have a feeling that a stab at a simple interpreter
could deal with 90% of the JS out there.
And: I bet that some clever person could (or has already?) excised the JS
interpreter from Mozilla, and could make it sort of stand on its own.
