I always thought the Tamarin project was a nice example of an open-source move by Adobe. The JS-Harmony project definitely threw some cold water on some idealistic visions.

This Reg article apparently cites some bitterness at least for one person at Adobe regarding the fruitions of the open source contributions.

I’ll tell you what I think, that Adobe’s contribution helped stoke the JavaScript wars we’re seeing right now. And no matter how much Tamarin is sliced and diced, I think many will benefit from it.

“I’m also grateful to Ed Smith and the Tamarin Tracing team at Adobe for the TT Nanojit, which was a huge boost to developing TraceMonkey.”

Really neat to see Adobe’s contributions helping to make such an impact, wish we could see more collaboration between Mozilla and Adobe.
