We did that on irc when it came out. The essence: The JIT is sun's hotspot, quite good. better than ours. Not that huge dynamic optimization tricks as with tracemonkey but still state-of-the-art. The gc is generational and compacting (better than ours), but not incremental (as gc_it will be). All their external objects can freely move (and must so on a copying gc). A big trick is their js type-system, which makes some static assumptions/heuristics to optimize it. -- Reini Urban http://phpwiki.org/ http://murbreak.at/ _______________________________________________ http://lists.parrot.org/mailman/listinfo/parrot-dev
