Tamarin:Plans
From MozillaWiki
Several projects host Tamarin or want to, including at least: Flash, ActionMonkey, Adobe AIR, ExtendScript, and ScreamingMonkey. Multiple teams have interest in the following high-level tasks. (The names are tentative; these people have been nominated, some in absentia.)
- Benchmark development. (Dan Schaffer, Ed Smith, John Resig, Moh Haghighat)
- Tracing viability. (Adobe)
- Memory management. (Tommy Reilly, Jason Evans)
- Interpreter speed. (Steven Johnson. Mozilla may put work into this later in the year.)
- ECMAScript 3 compliance. (Dave Mandelin.)
- ECMAScript 4 compliance. (Lots of people, but it's still a bit too early to dig into this.)
- Host object APIs. (Tommy Reilly, Jason Orendorff)
- Platform support - first tier includes x86-32 and ARM; second tier, PPC, x86-64; then Sparc, HP PA/RISC later as needed.
- 64-bit support generally.
- Fixed-width strings. (Michael Daumling)
