#2"It is probably fair to say that JavaScript is the most important technology these days when it comes to software engineering."
Uhh ... no?

#3Some very good examples and a good explanation of the reasoning behind the previous and the current optimizations of the JavaScript execution infrastructure.
For the context, from the "about" page of the author, he:
"joined Google to work on the V8 JavaScript Engine in the Munich office, where" he's "currently working as tech lead for the JavaScript execution optimization team."

+1 "JS is the only API we currently have to use one of the most popular plateform we have" would be more accurate. And it's a terrible API. I can't wait for webassembly.

#5I apologize if this is an uninformed question, but are there any popular browser benchmarks out there? I'm sure that JS benchmarks are useful to browser developers and those who want JS to be the next general application platform, but as a user, I'm currently sticking to Safari since things like battery life and scrolling performance on mainly document-oriented pages are still more important to me.

#8Is there a benchmark which tests boring real world usage? The web is littered with people complaining about the performance of dynamically adding rows to tables, especially in IE.
The good news is that the next version of Edge 15 has some really good DOM performance improvements.
