Can always trust Vyacheslav Egorov to pump out super high quality stuff about v8.

His blog http://mrale.ph/ is full of hidden goodies like Object.create vs function constructor [1] and hidden classes vs jsperf [2]. Lots of good stuff on his SO too.

It'd be great if he (hi if you're reading this btw!) could write a bit about TF and the changes being made to v8 internally from an overview point of view.

Thanks, I am glad you like my blog :)

I might write something about TF but right now it's still not used to compile normal code and the team is just starting on stuff like adaptive optimizations, so it's a bit too early.

Also given that I don't work on V8 anymore I always think it's a bit unfair for me to do it --- somebody from V8 team should do it instead, cause my perspective is bound to be slightly different from theirs :)

And, since you're reading this (in the other comments) I just want to point out that the presentations you're giving got a lot better (the deck). This one is a lot more witty than the old ones. Props on getting better at presenting - a big step from your old presentations and blog posts, the English is good too here :)
