Trace Based JIT Compiling

Mozilla recently announced their new TraceMonkey Javascript implementation using trace based JIT compiling.

It's pretty cool stuff. For more information you can download Andreas Gal's thesis, or read HotpathVM: An Effective JIT Compiler for Resource-constrained Devices or Incremental Dynamic Code Generation with Trace Trees

I almost wish I was still working on Suneido's virtual machine :-)
