Tamarin:WeeklyUpdates/2007-08-21

Project updates:

esc (the ECMAScript-to-Tamarin-bytecode compiler) will be checked into the tamarin-central repository at the end of August (+/- a day). At that time it'll be complete enough to (a) run on Tamarin; (b) compile itself. It will not support all of ECMAScript 4; for example, structural types are currently ignored (they're like comments).

ActionMonkey continues. The last patches for Stage 0 are awaiting code reviews. A raft of bugs are already slated for Stage 1, and work is beginning on those.

ScreamingMonkey is progressing. markh has Windows Scripting Host scripts that load ABC files and execute them. Right now, it can't execute JavaScript from source, though, as no compiler is hooked up. ScreamingMonkey will likely be an early consumer of esc.
