  Narcissus (JavaScript engine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was written by Brendan Eich, who also wrote the first JavaScript engine, SpiderMonkey.
Its name is based on the mythical figure of Narcissus, who fell in love with himself.
This relates to the fact that this JavaScript engine is a Metacircular Interpreter, because the engine itself is also written in JavaScript.

 JavaScript
Despite the name, JavaScript is only distantly related to the Java programming language, the main similarity being their common debt to the C programming language.
JavaScript is a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc., used under license for technology invented and implemented by Netscape.
JavaScript OSA (JavaScript for OSA, or JSOSA), is a Macintosh scripting language based on the Mozilla 1.5 JavaScript implementation, SpiderMonkey.

 Definition of JavaScript
JavaScript, often mistyped as "Javascript", is an object-oriented scripting language based on the concept of prototypes.
JavaScript is an prototype-based scripting language with a syntax loosely based on C. Like C, it has the concept of reserved keywords, which (being executed from source) means it is almost impossible to extend the language without breakage.
The JavaScript implementations of the most popular webbrowsers adhere to the ECMAScript standard, the incompatibilites are all part of the Document Object Model implementation.

 * JavaScript - (Computing): Definition
JavaScript is an interpreted language built into a browser to provide a relatively simple means of adding interactivity to web pages.
JavaScript could be viewed as a cousin to the Java programming language, but with a different role in the content delivery process.
JavaScript JavaScript is a programming language that is mostly used in web pages, usually to add features that make the web page more interactive.

 Slipwave Javascript   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
This class provides a simple javascript code mangler intended to help improve performance and reduce bandwidth requirements for javascript-intensive applications.\n\nThe idea was engendered by considering LISP and other languages which have [[atomsatom]] as a primitive type.
In the case of javascript it is nearly impossible to see any real cache coherent benefits in the first place, so the down side is never realized.\n\n[[Wewe]] use this approach for the code output by [[js.lang.Recompiler]].
Javascript implementations typically provide a fixed number of stack frames, rather than an actual stack size limitation, so we simply count down to stack frames, and eventually {{{throw}}} or {{{return}}} a special exception that indicates that execution should resume from the point indicated by the exception.

 AardvarkArticles.net - Programming - Javascript
JavaScript is an object-based scripting language with a syntax loosely based on C. Like C, it has the concept of reserved keywords, which (being executed from source) means it is almost impossible to extend the language without breakage.
Javascript, like HTML, is often not compliant to standards, instead being built to work with specific web browsers.
In Javascript, all objects can map from integers to values, but Arrays are a special type of objects that has extra behavior and methods specializing in integer indices (e.g., join, slice, and push).

 Softpanorama JavaScript/Jscript and WSH Resources
JavaScript is the only mainstream language that uses a prototype-based object-oriented implementation (pioneered in Sun Self language).
JavaScript was developed in 1995 by Brendan Eich at Netscape, now a division of AOL.
JavaScript is also a pretty interesting macro language, but so far only Lotus Notes uses it in such a role along with its VB clone (LotusScript).

According to this 2004 June 15 post by Brendan, Narcissus is where JS2 is going: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/005689.html The new JS2 plan is to bootstrap off of the JS-in-JS project I started under js/narcissus.
As of this writing (July 2004), jsrun failed on the first three javascript files I tried it on, with spurious syntax errors, so I'd say it isn't yet ready for prime time.

Spidermonkey, the JavaScript engine at the heart of Firefox and other Gecko browsers, treats variables declared inline and those declared in the argument list differently.
When Google first announced their SOAP API to their search engine, while the data was there to be had, there was a large barrier to getting to it.

Narrative JavaScript is a small extension to the JavaScript language that enables blocking capabilities for asynchronous operations.
One of the more interesting aspects is that it uses Narcissus to compile Narrative JavaScript to regular JavaScript.
Then I did a search for Narcissus JavaScript on Google to see if there was better documentation or descriptions of Narcissus (the Mozilla repository of the code was not particularly forthcoming).

I'm trying to do a little on-the-fly (in javascript) modification of javascript source code (to add some nifty implicit semantics).
I've tried extricating the semicolon insertion code from the parser source code in spidermonkey (mozilla's JS engine), but it seems that it needs to be embedded as a part of the parser, because it needs context information to do its job.
It's a top-down parser (so not totally unambigous for Javascript), but it seems as thought it will be servicable.

 Brendan's Roadmap Updates: Mozilla 2.0 virtual machine goals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Lack of decent JVM is probably a bit of a problem, though lots of possible candidates for a Mozilla 2 timeframe.
In fact, Java is probably the second-most-mature language supported by Mono, because their VB and Ecmascript implementations are still in the early stages, but IKVM is pretty mature.
The poor JS support currently in Mono may actually be an issue since Mozilla relies pretty heavily on JS - but then again, who better to improve Mono's JS support than the people who wrote the language in the first place ;) Alternatively, IKVM could probably run Rhino (and Jython for python support).

I'm starting to think that Javascript is just as powerful and concise as Perl, which is a scary thought indeed...
If you want to see something wicked have a look in the mozilla source trees (on lxr.mozilla.org if you want to access it from your browser) and find Narcissus somewhere there.
It's an implementation of JavaScript in JavaScript, made for the Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine (the one written in C).

Mozilla has been my favorite browser for a long time, but know I'm gradually giving it up for Firefox.
Mozilla Firefox is also developed at mozilla.org, and is basically a branch-off from the aforementioned Mozilla.
However, Firefox is meant to be a stand-alone browser, while Mozilla is a suite incorporating an e-mail application, chat client, HTML editor, optional calendar, and even more.

 mozdev.org - optimoz: gestures/wishlist
The idea is to find ways for Mozilla to act as a portal from the end user point, via different tabs and a sidebar, this elements playing the role of a matrix navigation in a professional environment for ebusiness applications.
Mozilla could easily have the right-click menu work like Galeon, but it might have to be a main codebase change through a bugzila feature request if add-ons like mozgest can't change the default mouse behaviour.
With mozilla, the right-click context menu appears when the mouse button is clicked down, so even if you are holding the mouse button to use mouse gestures it runs afoul of the context menu.

 Brad Neuberg: Coding In Paradise: LazyWeb Request: JavaScript 2.0 Preprocessor
I'd like to see a preprocessor that can take JavaScript 2.0 code and turn it into JavaScript 1.5 code, so that you can get it's advantages for development, such as true OOP syntax, but deploy it to existing clients.
The one downside to this is that you can't run eval() on the JavaScript 2.0 code, but being able to have real object oriented notation instead of the ghetto prototype system makes it worth it for programming in the large, which most AJAX systems are starting to need to be manageable.
So that was kind of the point of Narcissus, which is JS2 in JS1.

 42: October 2004
It might be a friend if it actually followed standards for HTML layout, if the layout engine was not full of bugs, if the tools had anythging elevn starting to match those in Firefox.
One other interesting thing to note is that Mozilla has now topped 60% for the first time and Linux is on 20% (both taken from only the last 1,000 visitors - I think).
They achieved double their initial goal (which was 1 million downloads in 10 days) they now have a new target which is to double the membership of the SpreadFirefox website in 10 days (that means an extra 10,000 members), they have already added 2,800 in 3 days so look like they may achieve this too.
