Not entirely true. .Net and JS code on Windows RT will most certainly be JITed. All you need to do is target the CLR or JavaScript runtime.

- bad_user 14y agoYeah, try building a Javascript interpreter on top of the CLR. Compare that with V8.
- thedeuce 14y agouh there is already
- j_s 14y agoThat was my impression as well; if Mozilla really wants FireFox on Windows 8 it is not impossible technically. Mozilla is also 100% within their rights to complain that their implementation will be hampered in a way that IE will not be. The whole situation reminds me of how Microsoft Office and other Microsoft apps got in trouble for using undocumented Windows APIs ( http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=2007020819534335 http://www.groklaw.net/articlebasic.php?story=20070208195343... ), except now they are upping the ante from undocumented to inaccessible.
- cooldeal 14y agoThe whole situation also reminds of me of how Apple never got in trouble for doing the exact same thing with Safari in iOS in spite of the iPad dominating the tablet market.
- teamonkey 14y agoIt's worth pointing out that the .Net Compact Framework doesn't support JIT right now. There's no guarantee that Win8Arm will have a .Net framework that supports JIT either.
- contextfree 14y ago* .netCF supports JIT * Windows RT CLR is a port of the full CLR, not the CF
- teamonkey 14y agoYou're right of course (and I can't edit my original comment).
