Hi Orion and Jakob,
I appreciate your explanation. Now I can understand maintainability issue is one of the big advantages of TurboFan because it's more architecture independent. I also would like to know the future performance impact of TurboFan and Ignition. Thankfully, I could access and read the ignition document. Can you please let me know if there’s TurboFan document as well? I would like to know more about it regarding performance impact and the design level overview/goal. I have found the below links but those are not enough to understand for me how much TurboFan is better than current one. http://v8project.blogspot.kr/2015/07/digging-into-turbofan-jit.html http://blog.chromium.org/2015/07/revving-up-javascript-performance-with.html http://ariya.ofilabs.com/2014/08/javascript-and-v8-turbofan.html I have also watched Seth Thompson's talk in Chrome Dev Summit 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDFWIb0pi4U I could get the below summary regarding TurboFan from the talk. 1. TurboFan is designed to optimise ES2015 and beyond. 2. TurboFan will use static type information to optimise asm.js and soon WebAssembly Can you please let me know if TurboFan is kind of a restructuring to better support new features only but not to optimise the existing JS code? If TurboFan can better optimise the existing JS code as well, how can it be possible?
