Google chrome's javascript at lightening speed.
Google just released their own browser chrome. It is said to have a javascript with lightening speed. Since the TomsPlanner code is all about javascript performance I was curious if it would be noticeable. And I can tell you it IS! After testing TomsPlanner for months on IE6 on a five year old laptop while developing, running it in Chrome truly seems at lightening speed. I am really enthusiastic!
To be honest I don't expect the whole world to ditch IE and switch to Chrome instantly. People are just to stuck in their own ways (otherwise everybody would be using Opera right now). In that perspective the arrival of Chrome could be seen as a nuisance. It just means another browser to test against when developing websites and applications. And IE6 on my five year old laptop stays my main testing setup. But with also Firefox 3.1 coming up the benchmark for javascript engine speed for the IE team is getting higher and higher which is a really good thing for the javascript language in general. So exiting times coming up!
