"v8 is not a browser engine either ,it's a javascript engine,just like Rhino. you are mixing up Webkit with v8."
- I think you're partly correct but also confused. Webkit is a rendering engine and yes V8 is a JavaScript engine not a browser engine that was created for Chrome Browser by Google. It's used for Node.JS etc now but it's sole purpose was to make Chrome faster and that is not the same purpose of Nashorn - nashorn is a replacement for Rhino. That is what I'm trying to say.
- Skinney 13y agoAnd Nashorn is supposed to be faster than Rhino... Nashorn and V8 are both JS-engines, why wouldn't you compare them?
