[webkit-dev] Is WebKit's javascript subpar?

[David D. Kilzer]

WebKit's JavaScript engine is a completely different code base than  
the one in Firefox.  Although WebKit's JS engine has not achieved  
feature-parity with Firefox, there are a number of people spending  
their own time documenting bugs, writing test cases, and coding fixes  
for these bugs.  And that doesn't even include the Apple employees  
working on the project.

It's a lot easier to post a blog entry saying that WebKit lacks a  
feature than it is to implement a missing feature or fix a broken  
feature.
