Adobe contributes another VM to Mozilla
Today, Ted Patrick announced that Adobe has contributed another Virtual Machine (VM) to The Mozilla Foundation. This time, it's a VM that 'allow EcmaScript to scale up and down independent of system resources' - perfect for mobile devices.
About a year ago, Adobe contributed the first VM to the Tamarin project of Mozilla Foundation. The Tamarin VM executes ECMAScript based code (such as Javascript and Actionscript) really ast and efficient. The new VM that Adobe submitted today is dubbed QVM. It does the same as the Tamarin VM but will "allow EcmaScript to scale up and down independent of system resources". This really means that it should be able to run on all sorts of processors even in low memory conditions, such as on mobile and other devices.The QVM will likely be what executes Flash Lite 4, the next generation of the Flash mobile spec, allowing full AS3 compliance. In theory, this will enable Flex users to author for devices as well and open up mobile development to an even larger base of Flash developers.
