Tamarin Documentation Available
June 1st, 2007
I haven’t seen this blogged yet, so I’m going to scoop it. 
Good news! Adobe has just published a PDF covering the internals of Tamarin, the next generation JS engine that Adobe and Mozilla are collaborating on.
Adobe ActionScript Virtual Machine 2 (AVM2) Overview (PDF, 400K)
The AVM2 Overview describes the instructions, associated data structures, and file format supported by the AVM2.
I’m sure it was a lot of work to get this cleared for publication. Congratulations to the team at Adobe!

Yes, I’m a geek, and I’ve already been making my way through the doc; I love this stuff
BTW, some thoughts here: http://www-03.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/pmuellr?entry=browser_scripting
What I’m not clear on is whether AVM2 == Tamarin or AVM2 JIT == Tamarin; I thought the early news on Tamarin was that it was a JIT, so I’m thinking “is it ONLY the JIT?” That doesn’t make too much sense, really, but … who knows.

[...] Patrick Mueller left a comment on the previous Tamarin post, but I just got to it, because it was somewhere in the middle of 811 spam comments. Sorry about that! Posted by rsayre Filed in Uncategorized [...]
