Apple Looking to Boost Safari JavaScript Performance with New Accelerator Upgrades

[KdParker]

This is good news. I had high hopes for HTML5. But when Google decided to fork HTML5, I was concerned that Safari might fall behind. Or at the least, we'd be end up with the old browser wars where web pages would looks completely different from browser to browser. I wish they'd just all play nice together. With Apple incorporating support for Mozilla's JS, maybe there's hope...

Playing nice is not in the best interest of all parties involved, so until a standard is set, then this will continue.

 

[Skika]

Oh no, I didn't 😛

Make it stop.

 

[seamer]

Will it run battletoads?

 

[bluespider]

sweet downloading now....




oh uh wait, wrong thread LOL

 

[whooleytoo]

"FTLJIT"? Faster Than Light Just In Time?

That's just a wild guess, but knowing Apple's penchant for modest, understated marketing..

 

[cjbryce]

Worth pointing out that despite the similar names, Java and Javascript are not related... also, as clearly shown in that image Flash is a relic of the past and should stay that way.

Flash was a relic of the past when it was released in 1980 🙂

But who will set the standard?

 

[unplugme71]

I wonder if anyone will comment "isn't OS X 10.10 the same as 10.1?" 🙄

SD's know the difference. Math majors will never understand. 😉

And still works perfectly on PCs today 🙂

Full screen, 1080p Flash, very low system load. Never a problem

I'm officially referring to it as OS XXX (OSX X.X), and if it looks like iOS7 it WILL be obscene. 🙂

But who will set the standard?

Everyone...just like all the other "standards".

 

[H2SO4]

Think I'll stick with FireFox 29.

I'll wait for Firefox 31 which will be out the day after tomorrow.

 

[Carlanga]

Oh yeah snappy beats

The improvements should start to show up here:

I don't know if real or being sarcastic. Not enough emoticons used.

And then there was Famous. My opinion, Famous is the nail in the coffin for Flash and will replace JQuery in short order.

Now, all we need is for Oracle to 'fix' Java.
It is simply arcane.

There standards normally get set when the leaders in a new technology or some association that sets protocols that get adopted by the leaders.

Not sure the 4 major browsers feel a standard is needed.

I like that OSX X.X Thing. But shouldn't it just be OS X.X?

 

[_Refurbished_]

I don't care about the speed, I just want that as the new Safari iOS icon. Bling!

 

[Millah]

BTW, that Safari icon matches the Gold iPhone 5S! 🙂

Thats the WebKit icon

 

[Morky]

can't get snappier anymore my ass 😛

Boom.

Everything works perfectly on PCs today...except users. 😛

The only people who think/say that only heard it from someone else and have no idea what they are talking about.

 

[stuffradio]

I know what everyone is thinking... can it run Crysis?

Only if October 1st (10.1.14) is the same as October 10th (10.10.14)
