    Used tests:


    If you yourself really want to test TraceMonkey, install nightly of Firefox 3.1 , open the about: config settings page, and switch the next parameter to true: javascript.options.jit.content

    TraceMonkey is still a crude, but promising project that will enable you to create more complex web applications that will function on most computers.

    Also, the fact that his code works on x86, x86-64, and ARM cannot but rejoice, which allows him to work not only on desktop computers, but also on many mobile devices.

    I apologize that the review was small and poorly understood, just technical English is still complicated for me.
