I tested that, and it actually nearly froze up Opera (I managed to close the tab in time). You would think they'd put some sort of limit on how much memory or processing power a piece of Javascript can consume...

That's because Opera's Javascript support is horrendous. You were obviously not thinking about your thinking.
That's because Opera's Javascript support is horrendous.
And Firefox's isn't? HAHAHAHA.
Me? I think we should just get rid of that shit and use Lua. Not that it'd fix runaway processes, but at least we could do something useful with a language that isn't slow as a slug on every implementation out there.

yeah, right, a language that nobody uses is sure to be faster than one that people have been using for years. i bet you think a web browser written in haskell would be faster, too.

Hello, >>14. There's this thing called google. Repeat after me: G-O-O-G-L-E.
Plenty of people comparing Lua and Javascript on mailing lists too.
You fail.

spidermonkey is one of the slowest javascript implementations there is.
also, i doubt every browser would use the same lua implementation.

Considering how dependent Firefox is on javascript, that's really sad. The only browser out there with an implementation that isn't slow as molasses is Opera. One browser. Still slower than Lua though. Does this tell you anything?
There's a JITed JS implementation out there, but nobody uses it. What good is it if it's never used?
i doubt every browser would use the same lua implementation.
Why not? It's under an MIT license. That single implementation is widely used and supported. You'd have to be an idiot to reinvent the wheel.

Don't provoke me, boy. I just might write one in Haskell just to spite your uppity ass.

ever heard of konqueror? or icab? i suspect safari would be reasonably fast, too, but i've never used it.
also, how do you know opera's javascript implementation is slower than lua? opera doesn't have lua and there isn't a standalone version of opera's javascript implementation...

Learn how to google, dumb ass. I am so fucking tired of digging up links that you could find in a few moments if your stupid lazy ass bothered. What are you doing in this board if you can't even use a search engine?
Now if you know anything about math (Right? You do know elementary math at least? Addition, subtraction and mean? Right?), it's pretty easy to use spidermonkey as a baseline and determine how everyone else compares to Lua.

why don't you try doing the tests yourself?
i tried the first one in konqueror and opera on my freebsd machine and konqueror was about 3 seconds slower.
then i tried it in icab on an old powermac i have (running os 9.1). i gave up on that after about 10 minutes.
then i tried to start opera... i gave up on that after about 15 minutes.
the second test stopped at "TEST 2" in both konqueror and opera.
