IronJS is now faster than IE8
We just hit a pretty major milestone in the dev branch of IronJS: We’ve surpassed IE8 in performance. I’ll try to keep this short and get straight to the point (the benchmarks), here is IronJS side-by-side to IE8, Jurassic and Jint (two other .NET based JavaScript runtimes).
Note the Jint failed on several tests and those have a zero as result. Click on the image for full size.
We’ve still got a long way to go until we reach our goal (within 300% of V8), but it’s looking good so far!
Update: Here’s the total test score also

Dude, that is some exciting stuff! Keep it up, man.

This is impressive. I was using Jint, but I think I’ll switch to IronJS now.
Though, I’d like to see a comparison with JavaScript .NET which is based on v8, here…

Either way, good to see, keep it up!

V8 looks very cool, except that it only supports one thread running one script at a time per process.
