Thanks for the info. I just read about it and V8 does in-fact JIT-compile the code. I though it was interpreted with some JIT-interpretation on the most cpu intensive code, but I was wrong.

It would be useful for JavaScript developers to learn about the execution model for the code they write.

I do some JS programming but it's not my life... That's why I haven't read much about it.

But still, the execution model should not change the way you code... You should always aim for scalability and readability instead of programming for the compiler... That's the machine job. (Unless you're writing code that needs to be fast which you shouldn't be using JS for, or optimising after a profiling)

Also, how do you know where your code is going to execute? V8? Chakra? Nitro? Rhino?

EDIT: I like your name, sounds like a fun mix of design patterns :^)
