Congratulations to Arek Korbik, who’s just released a library that allows OGG Vorbis playback in fp10. It’s been coded using haxe. ALL this neat language still misses is a FDT-level eclipse plugin. It just rocks.

1 - Understanding that the browser is no more than a browser. Chrome won’t bother claiming it’s own existance all the time, and that’s the point for a browser. Plus, it is faster and more stable than any other.

2 - With the new VM, it will allow for a new level of applications, actually a new horizon of expectations. EVERYTHING I run, and I run a bunch of Ajax apps daily, is way faster on it. No comparisons are even possible - it is just another level.

From a developer’s perspective, nothing important will change this soon. We’re already testing for Safari - thus, for the same Webkit -. But with the growth of Chrome and/or the adoption of this new VM by other browsers, JS will become even more of a serious thing. I expected it to happen with Ecmascript 4, which won’t come to life anymore. So now, we still won’t have a decent language, but the most important, a decent performance, will be enough - considering so much has been done with today’s limitations.

Unfortunately the most interesting scenes are way too heavy to publish, they can barely run on my quadcore, so it would not be nice to put them online. When I get to make them faster, I’ll release another demo
