I want more people to understand how much people are working on JS performance. Google, Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla - all have incentive to make it as fast as possible. Too bad JS is not the best candidate for many optimizations. I wonder if we'll get to the point of having a compiled version of JS that allows more static optimizations to be done. WebAssembly might occupy that niche if it gets nice standardized runtime.
