Mozilla Labs has released a Javascript engine (Narcissus engine and Zaphod script look-up tool) built to help coders test and help developers gain deeper understanding of the code used to build the Mozilla browser.
By releasing the Narcissus Javascript engine, which is based on simpler code and is much less affected by the changing browser code base, Mozilla hopes to get more people testing the software.
Tom Austin from Mozilla says: “What features should we add to JavaScript? What should the syntax/semantics be? What practical issues will come up that we have not considered so far? With Narcissus and Zaphod, we can more easily answer these questions,”
More information about the new tools are available on the Mozilla Labs website
