Hi All,

I'm considering a possibility to use Forth "natively" in my web pages to increase performance. The ideal scenario for me is to build my custom version of Firefox where JavaScript is replaced with Forth. So, my question is what should I start from?

Thank you, Michael

I'd start by counting the number of lines of Javascript in Firefox and estimating how many person-decades a reimplementation would take. Another answer could be: start with a realistic evaluation of Javascript's impact on performance, its likely to be a much smaller effect than you think. But maybe you meant to say "version of Firefox where Forth is also a viable scripting language"?
