speculation: It looks like he wants Nashorn dead from any angle? GraalJS and V8, lol
- jarym 8y agoYup, if Jim is behind this then I am more trusting of the technical reasons. I can't wait for the first release of Detroit - very exciting!
- jnermut 8y agoI’m wondering why Project Detroit, and the background given in the Jim Laskey preso about it, isn’t mentioned in the JEP. I’m sure it would help quell the outrage. That project will basically be Nashorn compatible, with better performance and ES6 and Node support. I wonder how it relates to Graal and TruffleJS though. Seems a bit left hand/right hand from Oracle to have competing projects like this. For anyone interested in JS on the JVM Jim’s video is a must watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JLhwsbMvjQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JLhwsbMvjQ
