I'm afraid I don't understand it at all. Making GCC "run common js frameworks" makes very little sense to me. Are you proposing some kind of JavaScript Front-end (which is not a JIT)? > What can we say about the acceptability for gsoc? Well, unfortunately I can say only that I do not understand it. If it is the JavaScript Front-end, the project would too big for a GSoC, by orders of magnitude, even if severely reduced in scope. Martin
