it's apple-approved javascript which does not have the same restrictions as normal stuff.
- pjmlp 13y agoYes, but that makes JavaScript one less language to complain about in iOS.
- fijal 13y agono, because you can't challenge "javascript is slow", since only apple is allowed to JIT it. If they do a bad job, there is noone else to help.
- pjmlp 13y agoYes there is, you can always write a native compiler for JavaScript, no one says you need to JIT it. Lisp, Dylan are just two examples from dynamic languages with native compilers.
