I kinda hope that someone at Mozilla keeps a count of just how many monkeys have gone into the code base. Off the top of my head, there's SpiderMonkey, TraceMonkey, JagerMonkey, IonMonkey, ScreamingMonkey, IronMonkey, and perhaps you should count Tamarin. It would be neat to see mascot like versions of them all... :)

- nnethercote 14y agoI've never heard of ScreamingMonkey or IronMonkey, and I'm a member of Mozilla's JavaScript team...
- grayrest 14y agoI've never heard of IronMonkey but ScreamingMonkey was at least planned as a Tamarin replaces js engine in IE project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tamarin:ScreamingMonkey https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tamarin:ScreamingMonkey
- shardling 14y agoIronMonkey was apparently for "mapping IronPython and IronRuby (and maybe IronPHP) to Tamarin". I just vaguely recalled seeing the name pop up in a Mozilla related context -- I certainly couldn't have told you what it was without looking it up. :) https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tamarin:IronMonkey https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tamarin:IronMonkey
