rewrite[edit]

Is Chakra a completly rewrite of JScript, or is it only the interpreter? We should add the note about JScript in the article! mabdul 11:08, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now that you mention, all the articles I encountered called Chakra a "JavaScript engine". But shouldn't we call it a "JScript engine", as JScript is MS' implementation of the ECMA standard? Then again, the two languages barely differ, so it's no wonder that the two terms are used interchangeably. Cheers, theFace 09:05, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do think so... mabdul 10:26, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Page move[edit]

I just moved the page from Chakra (JavaScript engine) to Chakra (JScript engine), in light of the discussion above and how it is described in the article text. The old title should still work as a redirect. --an odd name 12:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Endorsed. --Joshua Issac (talk) 12:43, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are we sure it's a JScript engine?[edit]

Microsoft are constantly referring to Chakra as a JavaScript engine. Are you sure it's a JScript engine? --Josh (Mephiles602) 09:37, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

IE9 reports JScript version 9! Microsoft did contrast the JScript 5.8 DOM with the IE9/"JavaScript (Chakra)" DOM and Chakra does not support encoded JavaScript.[1] IE9 seems to support conditional compiling, though it could be WSH taking over. --Joshua Issac (talk) 13:24, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SunSpider results[edit]

The article refers the latest SunSpider results. Should the first results (PDC/MIX10/PP1) also be mentioned? --Joshua Issac (talk) 13:28, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

why not? mabdul 18:01, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the details of the PDC version of IE9 and IE9 PP1 (diff). --Joshua Issac (talk) 12:00, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

more to do[edit]

The blog entry could be implemented; I have no time for that! mabdul 19:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GPU[edit]

The engine is also able to access the computer's graphics processing unit (GPU), in particular for 3D graphics and video.

What has that to do with the JS engine? The DOM and drawing (esp. of Canvas and SVG elements) is not primarily duty of the JS engine. A JS engine could theoretically (or even in practise as could be seen with the previous engine from MS and also the one from Mozilla) run independent of DOM, etc, so it would have nothing to do with any graphics stuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.117.247.205 (talk) 19:21, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles[edit]

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration...[edit]

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles[edit]

We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts[edit]

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention[edit]

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles[edit]

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.
