Since we landed TraceMonkey 10 (ahem) days ago, we’ve been working mostly on stability and bug fixes, as is usual for the early-but-promising stage of new tech. Jesse’s fuzzers have been as deliciously useful as always, and we’ve been able to make some small performance improvements along the way. Things are looking pretty good.

Pretty soon we’ll be able to dive back in and work on more optimizations, and perhaps even write a paper or two. (We’ve learned a lot in the past couple of months, and it would be great to share those lessons with others who might be looking to make dynamic languages fast.) I have lots to keep me busy, but I’m hoping I’ll be able to sneak off and dabble here and there. Don’t tell my boss.
