That is neat. Perhaps Microsoft will adopt V8 for their gadget engine in Windows or perhaps even IE?
Welcome Change
Perhaps you think Channel 9 is just Microsoft Marketing?Now that is the Change We Can Believe In.
It's not change.
I like to believe Channel 9 has always been this way.
if(point.class == Point){ // it's a point so the x component is the first in memory return point[0]; }else{ // use the slow path for other objects location = point.class.lookup("x"); return point[location]; }Is this how V8 does attribute lookup? Does V8 adapt this generated code at runtime? What happens with this code:
foo = point.x bar = point.yWill this check the point class twice, or is V8 smart enough to check it only once?
wow damn good and smart discusion. Even though I am a layman, the discusion on validating @ source code level sound+seem damn cool.
As a layman, I am wondering will V8 be optimized for other scripting language? If they do that will chrome be as huge as an OS? anyway maybe we do not even need a browser application anymore. Too bad there are many political issues to settle if that is to become
a reality in the desktop world (hope the mobile world will be free of that ^^).
Erik and Charles are sharp and smart.
I also like Justin comments on IL being a weird API.
Keep up all the good work Channel 9 and all the computer science geek. Cheers.

easily one of the most interesting chats i've seen for a long time - i love this level of conversation and would really like to see more of this kind of interaction between ms and google here or elsewhere.
ms _is_ doing very interesting research projects - google _is releasing_ very interesting research projects. i want the research arm of ms take more of a lead in actual production systems . it's abundantly clear that we would all benifit from ms sales keeping out of what makes it to production.
