By combining APIs, code, and ideas from [http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/src SpiderMonkey] and [http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/js/tamarin Tamarin], we will build a [http://developer.mozilla.org/es4 JS2] virtual machine as part of Mozilla 2. The Tamarin code contribution is a big boost to this effort, and we intend to extend it, not copy code from it. But we need more than today's Tamarin in order to avoid certain pitfalls.
