Johnson wraps JavaScript in a loving Ruby embrace. It embeds the Mozilla =
SpiderMonkey JavaScript runtime as a C extension.
The 2.0.0 prerelese series include TraceMonkey, the evolution of =
SpiderMonkey, which includes among other things a trace-based JIT =
compiler for JavaScript. In current prereleases the JIT is enabled for =
320bit builds and disabled for 64-bit builds (as they are in the Mozilla =
builds).
This prerelease includes TraceMonkey from the Firefox 3.6 build branch =
and fixes all known issues with split global support.
Since it's a pre-release, you need to give gem the --prerelease flag to =
install it, i.e.,
gem install johnson --prerelease
Because it's a prerelease gem, you may need to manually install gem =
dependencies. The gem install will tell you if you need to.
The prerelease code is in the unstable branch of the git repo.
