JavaScript language and implementation plans go here. For background, see:
- JS items in Brendan's roadmap blog.
- The Mozilla JS language page.
- "So you're new to SpiderMonkey" is a guide for new contributors to the JavaScript engine.
- The ECMAScript (ES) language site.
- JS pages at the Mozilla Developer Center (MDC).
- Rhino documentation at MDC. Rhino is an implementation of JavaScript in Java.
Hackers
Active Projects
- JavaScript:?Monkey, goals (TODO: replace/supplement with IonMonkey goals)
