An educational story on the call and apply methods performance in JavaScript.

While lying in bed and trying to sleep last night, I had an idea I'd like some feedback on. The idea is partially destructive garbage collection, which allows the runtime to handle caching, instead of the programmer. With PDGC, the runtime is allowed to destroy an object and keep only the relevant data for recreation around.

IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced the public availability of Milepost GCC, the world's first open source machine learning compiler. The compiler intelligently optimizes applications, translating directly into shorter software development times and bigger performance gains.

I stumbled upon Gregory Higley’s Blog on Stackoverflow. He makes his living writing C#, Ruby, and occasionally Objective C but one of his two personal favorite languages is REBOL. He wrote a surprising article on Rebol / Javascript similarities. "It’s not lexical similarity that concerns me here, but functional similarity. For instance, both languages are scripting languages in the sense that they are not (usually) compiled. No big deal there. That’s true of a long list of languages. However, both languages are prototype languages, and that’s certainly not true of a lot of languages."
