rewrite

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

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?

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

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]
