What does today's Mozilla announcement mean for developers?
Frank Hecker, executive director for the Mozilla Foundation, has a great write up on what today's announcement means for JavaScript developers. A few things to note:
"Finally, the Mozilla project will gain yet another major corporate contributor in Adobe, one that's made the largest single code contribution to the project since Netscape originally released the Mozilla source code in 1998."
"For Adobe, Mozilla, and others who might join in future, the Tamarin
project represents for client-side web technology what the so-called
LAMP
stack does for server-side web technology: a move to
not only centralize development around key specifications (ECMAScript
for Tamarin, HTTP, SQL, etc., for the LAMP stack) but also to jointly
develop and promote high-quality open source implementations of those
specifications.
If you develop web applications using JavaScript, you should read the entire posting on Frank's blog.
Brandan Eich also has a posting on it, and will be chatting on IRC later today to discuss the announcement.
