WebKit’s New JavaScript Engine – SquirrelFish

Safari.jpg

While I'm not a big JavaScript writer, I can see that there are a ton of sites that use this technology, and on that front, it's nice to see that WebKit has gotten a new JavaScript engine that is already significantly faster than the old one, but also has room for significant improvements as well.

This probably won't make it into Safari until a later release of 10.5.x, but it's nice once again to see that the Apple guys are pushing the envelope with this stuff and working hard to get the best and fastest tools to us. Bravo.
