Just in case you haven't seen the news about IonMonkey landing

All,

Yesterday, IonMonkey, our next-generation JavaScript JIT compiler, landed! Sure, it does cool things like improve our benchmark scores and get the top score in the world on Kraken (on 32-bit machines). But what's even more important is that this project, which represents over a year of tightly coordinated effort by our IonMonkey team--David Anderson, Jan de Mooij, Nicolas Pierron, Marty Rosenberg, Sean Stangl, and Kannan Vijayan, plus Ion alumnus Chris Leary and the 5 of our JS interns from this year and last: Andrew Drake, Eric Faust, Ryan Pearl, Andy Scheff, and Hannes Verschore--is a big technical step forward for the platform and a great base for us to keep building to make the web faster and more capable. (And play more games!)

(Yesterday a version this email went out with a note about cake. There is no more cake. :-P)

For much more on what this is and what it means for the web platform, see David Anderson's blog post:
