There doesn't have to be a victim. This looks like an amicable fork that gives some quick benefit to all parties involved.

- rurounijones 14y agoOracle appears to be a victim since they were planning on integrating their own JS engine into webkit. Apple's webkit looks like it will only support JSC I would be surprised if chromium decide to support anything but V8 Oracle might need to maintain their own fork of either webkit or blink just to support their JS Engine.
- dasmoth 14y agoChromium (kind-of) supports DartVM. The fact that they're working on Dart will be a big incentive to keep the abstractions between the browser and the scripting language implementations as clean as possible.
- rurounijones 14y agoNow that is a very good point. So while webkit is most likely a no-no blink may be possibility for Oracle.
