When bounty will be finished, this code will be implemented in the latest available version of Odyssey Web Browser for MorphOS. Also two latest bounty for Open XCOM port and Return to the Roots ports has been finished. If you wish to contribute to any of the bounties please visit our site.
I find interesting the Javascript JIT Compiler for PowerPC but I'd like to know if it's going to be based or integrated inside other major JS JIT... I mean: will it be a v8 port? I would prefer that the changes got integrated in a mainstream JS JIT as perhaps other developers could help to maintain it. A v8 PowerPC port could be interesting...
Answer from BigFoot regarding V8: It's for Webkit's 'JavaScriptCore'. OWB does not, and will not, use V8. V8 is a Chrome thing, not a Webkit thing.
@ crumb why do you still have that stupid Satanic avatar? Do you even grasp what it is you are delving into?
