| The IE team is busy working on 
the next version of the world's most popular browser. IE 8 is the most widely 
used browser on Windows. IE 9 is currently in the oven and the IE team is ready to 
talk about what they're working on. Here, JavaScript engine team 
members John Montgomery, Steve Lucco and Shanku Niyogi give us an early look at 
the new JS engine that will ship with IE 9. As of the interview, it is on par 
with the latest perfomance numbers of the latest Firefox beta and making 
progress in catching up to Chrome's V8. Again, this is a really early look at 
where the JS engine is and where it's going (and what they've done, 
architecturally, to speed up IE's JS engine). Enjoy! |
