JavaScript is everywhere these days. Now WebKit, the framework behind (among others) Safari and Safari Mobile, as well as the yet-unreleased Android, is getting a new JavaScript engine called Squirrelfish, which the developers claim provides massive speedups over the previous one. The current iteration of the engine is "just the beginning," they claim; in the near future, six planned optimizations should bring even greater speed. With JavaScript surviving as a Web-page mainstay despite many early gripes, and now integral to some low-powered mobile devices, this may mean many fewer wasted seconds in the world.http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=08/06/03/1723206 (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/03/1723206&from=rss)
