Adobe Flash Player 9 executes applications written in ActionScript 3.0, a programming language that is based on the ECMAScript language specification. Javascript, the scripting language developed by Netscape, and used in the Firefox web browser, is also based on the ECMAScript standard. Mozilla Foundation will host a new open source project, called Tamarin, using the virtual machine code contributed by Adobe. Brendan Eich, author of Javascript, has written a weblog post welcoming Tamarin developers to Mozilla. Frank Hecker has written a detailed description of the Tamarin project. Mitchell Baker has written her thoughts on how Tamarin ties up with the goals of Mozilla.
