火狐，你大概知道~
英伟达呢？第一印象会是个沿海服装或者皮鞋厂吧…

Firefox和Nvidia看起来好像是完全不相干的两个公司嘛。其实不然，总感觉这两个公司的产品现在越来越有着相似的一面。
哗哗哗时间过去三五年当云计算成真，当我们的个人终端已经不需要所谓的主机而变成一个屏幕的时候，当网线和电线早就集成在一起，要上网只要插电源的时候，Google所谓网络操作系统（其实就是Google Chrome或者其他浏览器，比如Firefox）大行其道的时候，当我们的所有东西都运行在说不清楚在什么地方的服务器的时候，Firefox就取代了Nvidia，接下了为用户渲染呈现视觉效果的重任。
我们还是看看现在的JavaScript已经强大到了什么地步吧！

猜一下吧，以下的哪一个会成为几年之后的Nvidia？
- InScript
- JavaScriptCore — a JavaScript interpreter that was originally derived from KJS. Used in the WebKit project and applications such as Safari.
- JScript — the engine used in Internet Explorer, and one component of Trident (layout engine)
- KJS — the engine used in Konqueror, and one component of KHTML
- futhark — the ECMAScript engine of the Opera web browser versions 9.50 and higher.
- linear_b — the ECMAScript engine of the Opera web browser versions 7.0 to 9.50, exclusive.

- QtScript
- Rhino — one of several JavaScript engines from Mozilla, using the Java Platform

The following ones are the new generation JavaScript engines for web browsers, all implementing just-in-time compilation (JIT) or variations of that idea:
- Tamarin — an ActionScript and ECMAScript JIT engine.
- TraceMonkey — evolution of SpiderMonkey, the JavaScript engine planned for Firefox 3.1, also partially based on Tamarin.
