Thanks for that link !!

You are absolutely right. But let me say: The lectures advisor does a great 
job - this is not his problem - I decided to work on this by knowing about 
this is not a paper they would select for a student. It was more about a 
vision knowing about what direction JavaScript should do further evolution 
and I like to put in my two cents.  I started working on that last year and 
read about 20 related papers. The paper I discuss didn't publish its V8 
extension or removed it from the project website - don't know. After asking 
the author I got the code (finally) - with the comment it wasn't prepared 
to be published. Each step took time and also I tried things myself before 
I asked. This all happens in parallel to other exams. There are still some 
days and it is only a paper not a degree paper (I am a post graduated). And 
what I am doing here is only diligence work not required. It is still 
diving deeper for understanding how it works to become an expert - the 
paper only talks about the basics for arguments and explaining its idea. I 
like to get deeper into V8 after that task - is there any up to date 
documentation about internals of V8 (something your would give an intern to 
become a useful developer)? I read many comments in the code but if there 
is a documentation which is describing the decision V8 is doing about 
compiling which is useful for being cited ... this would be a great gift (I 
do not mean the wiki... and linked unofficial docs are from 2013).
