▶ 14:43 Jordi Hays Google's V-A JavaScript engine, very important to secure, the Linux kernel, for example.

▶ 0:57 Shawn Wang Where, like, there's a lot of legendary programmers that have come out of it, like, uh, Bjorn Stolstrup, Rasmus Lerdorf, Anders Heilsberg, and the V-A team, and Google Maps team.

▶ 2:04:15 David Rosenthal Number one, most important, it is going to have a super fast, super modern, super performant JavaScript virtual machine called V-Ate.
▶ 2:09:53 Ben Gilbert It's written sort of for the tech enthusiast who can understand process independence, understand sandboxing, understand V-A and the JavaScript speed up, but it's not written for the general public.
▶ 2:14:39 David Rosenthal Google Chrome Frame was a plugin for Internet Explorer that replaced IE's JavaScript engine and pulled in the Chrome V-A JavaScript engine, and I think also WebKit.

▶ 2:40:20 unnamed speaker Yeah, and I could imagine them doing a similar project to, I believe it was like the V-eight JavaScript engine. 2 times in the scene

▶ 1:07:20 Shawn Wang The, the thing that we just talked about, MD-F crypt, Ruby on Rails, Google Maps, and V-Eight for, for Chrome.

▶ 3:44 Amjad Masad And with it, their VA JavaScript engine, JavaScript was getting really powerful.

▶ 1:49 Eugene Cheah It outperformed the base VA engine by running it on the WebGL.

▶ 18:18 Diana Hu And even for JavaScript, there's the V-Eight engine, which makes it pretty performant.

▶ 9:41 Balaji Srinivasan Like, just because JavaScript's getting fast, and Google in particular has put all that effort into trace trees, and actually getting that into production with the V-A compiler, and, and so on.
