Tamarin

Adobe jumped the Opensource bandwagon by releasing source code from the latest ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2) to the Mozilla Foundation for inclusion in upcoming versions of its products.

Implications:

  • SVG is dead, long live Tamarin
  • Expect some fantastically rich web-applications in a couple years, that will blow away gmail and the likes
  • Who'll need a host OS anymore? Will this be Web3.0?

I, for one, do welcome our new Tamarin overlords.
