As I noted in my last post, TraceMonkey is turning out to be a really fast scripting engine. Fast to the point, in fact, that Mozilla decided to stop producing ActionMonkey builds. Some technical reasons for this can be found on the Mozilla Wiki: JavaScript:ActionMonkey page.

Adobe already seem to have left their strong position in the driving seat of ECMAScript 4 in favour of getting all browser makes onboard ECMAScript Harmony instead. (Though Harmony will probably end up being called ECMAScript 4 in the end in any case…) What does these two events mean for Tamarin, ActionScript and Adobe?
