This is Google's JavaScript to JavaScript compiler, originally written in Java, but compiled with their Java to JavaScript compiler so that it runs in JavaScript... fair enough...
- dafrankenstein2 10y agoYeah I was trying to figure that out..haha
- minxomat 10y agoWe need to go deeper...
- strictfp 10y ago... which is JIT-compiled with their JavaScript-to-machine-code compiler.
- paulddraper 10y agoI'm not sure this is what Gosling had in mind when he said "compile once, run anywhere" :P
- kevincox 10y agoTo nitpick they are compiling separately for the js version ;)
- paulddraper 10y agoThough if you consider JS the universal runtime (Node, Nashorn, browser), then it is just once.
- moolcool 10y agoIt's 2016, the mantra now is "Compile thee times, run slowly in a handful of web browsers"
- strictfp 10y agoYou forgot to include V8!
- johnhenry 10y agoTechnically, this is the last "JavaScript" in the sentence.
