Shortly afterwards came the following press release: ' Adobe and the Mozilla Foundation today announced that Adobe has contributed source code for the ActionScript Virtual Machine, the powerful standards-based scripting language engine in Adobe Flash Player, to the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla will host a new open source project, called Tamarin, to accelerate the development of this standards-based approach for creating rich and engaging Web applications. This is a major milestone in bringing together the broader HTML and Flash development communities around a common language, and empowering the creation of even more innovative applications in the Web 2.0 world.' You can read about the Tamarin project on the Mozilla site."

Voilà une nouvelle qui commence à faire du bruit ces dernières heures. Adobe donne du code de son ActionScript à la fondation Mozilla afin d'améliorer le moteur JavaScript de la famille Gecko, dont Firefox.
Ainsi, Adobe espère profiter de la communauté Mozilla pour leurs produits aussi avec cette implémentation de l'ECMAScript 4ème version. Tout le monde est gagnant, pour une fois!
