The word innovation has lost all meaning. Improving a JIT compiler in 2005 (or later), by itself, isn't innovation, it's catching up to the state of the art.
And saying Actionscript is faster than Javascript for pixel intensive operations is fairly meaningless, because that's not really dependent on the language, it's dependent on how those pixels get pushed to the screen.
- cellis 17y agoI didn't say Actionscript was faster, did I? If you took it that way, allow me to clarify: I meant to say they improved the language, and that the JIT is faster than the chrome JIT.
- catch23 17y agoHow is the flash vm faster than v8? It seems like v8 would have a slight advantage since their JIT doesn't produce intermediate code.
