I am currently writing a web browser in JavaScript for boot2gecko, there is a need
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoDo you work for Mozilla or is this your own project?
- fzzzy 14y agoHe works for Mozilla. (As do I) "writing a browser" is a little bit of an exaggeration, since it's just all the chrome being implemented, and HTML rendering is handled by gecko. But, it's still a browser being implemented in js. It's pretty sweet. I'm working on a tcpsocket API for js for the same project. It's being used to implement an imap client in js. It's all part of the boot 2 gecko project. It's quite fun!
- jorangreef 14y agoSounds good. Any chance you can encourage Mozilla to share UDP, TCP, POSIX with those outside of boot2gecko? i.e. someone else who wants to build something like boot2gecko but outside of Mozilla?
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoB2G is 100% open-source and developed in the open. They even take pull requests and have open meetings. They are going to be taking their work to standards bodies and hopefully a lot of it gets picked up.
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoAwesome! I'm thinking about doing a Gopher client for B2G, so thank you! ;-)
