Been reading up on the big Tamarin announcement. Most of what I can make of it sound spretty cool, but the part of me is a little frightened that we may see apps out there that could work only in mozilla browsers? I hope I’m wrong on that, because we’ve come a long way from a place where people developed only for one browser.

Well, it’s *possible* I suppose, but we’re still talking standard ECMAScript here… the only difference is that it’s performing more efficiently, more zippily too.
If someone handled a lot of data in JavaScript today they’d probably run into cross-browser differences in performance. Today’s announcement just helps JavaScript in Firefox work better, and doesn’t change its basic ECMAScript nature.
Good…?
