Mozilla Developers’ take on Tamarin

By now everyone and their brother should have heard of Adobe's generous donation of their AVM2 to the Mozilla Foundation.

Brendan Eich seems to be extremely excited about the code, I would be too. This should really speed up JavaScript 2.0 adoption in browsers (when the spec is finalized). And since a variety of Firefox's UI features are implemented in JavaScript, it should also help speed up the Firefox.

Frank Hecker has a great post that answers what does this all mean to me.

Overall, I'm really excited about this, but I'm left with a question. With Apollo using WebKit (and JavaScriptCore), will Apple's WebKit project adopt AVM2 too?

Paul Robertson has a nice link roundup too.
