Lars Bak: "Ever since we opened the Google office in Aarhus, Denmark, I've been bombarded with the same question. What kind of virtual machine are you working on? Finally, I'm able to answer. It is an open source JavaScript engine and it is fast."

Heck yes, V8 sure is; faster even (for now) than Apple's already amazingly/blazingly fast SquirrelFish.

Who'd have thought just a few months ago that we'd have not one, but three (almost) production-quality high-performance JavaScript engines by September?

I for one welcome the definitive x86 of the web: Hello, JavaScript! You never looked quite as good. I wish you continued mega success.

For a bit more substance, head over to earl."In September 2006, after more than 20 years of nonstop labor designing virtual machines, [Lars Bak] had been planning to take some time off to work on his farm outside Århus. Then Google called."

Steven Levy's Wired background piece on Google Chrome, V8 and all that is well worth a read.
