Brendan's Roadmap Updates: TraceMonkey: JavaScript Lightspeed
A lot of work is going into making the javascript engine in firefox a lot faster. With the graphs on this page, it looks like the next major version of firefox is going to be a whole lot faster, making Rich Internet Applications using Javascript/HTML/CSS that much better. So, that's one less thing that environments like Adobe Flash and Microsoft's Silerlight can hold over the somewhat crufty but far more ubiquitous Javascript/HTML/CSS environment.
So, will the older, ugly Javascript/HTML/CSS catch up enough to the newer RIA environments that they never really take off across the web as a whole? Or will the other benefits provided by Flash and Silverlight cause most websites to move over to the "flashier" RIA environment?
