Tamarin link roundup

Some of the most useful links I’ve found on the recent project Tamarin announcement (Adobe’s contribution of code for AVM2—the ActionScript processing virtual machine portion of Flash Player—to the Mozilla Foundation).

If you’ve only heard vague things about this deal and want a good summary, I’d read the article by Frank Hecker linked to above.

Most of the obvious and publicly discussed benefits are benefits for the Mozilla Foundation, Firefox, and developers using Mozilla technologies. Personally (as someone involved in ActionScript development) I think this is a really exciting announcement. Over the next day or two I hope to post my thoughts about what this means for the Flash Platform, and why I think it’s a good thing for Adobe (and, via trickle-down effect, for Adobe’s customers). But I’m on dad duty tonight, so that’ll have to wait a bit =).

    has a great post that answers what does this all mean to me. Overall, I’m really excited about this, but I’m left with a question.  With Apollo using WebKit (and JavaScriptCore), will Apple’s WebKit project adopt AVM2 too? Paul Robertson has a nice link round up too. November 7th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in JavaScript, ActionScript

    Tamarin commentary, day 1: Through the day I’ll be updating this entry with links & pullquotes I find particularly interesting. It’s like drinking from a firehose, though… Adobe’s donation to Mozilla of scripting engine sourcecode will take us all…
