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!
