ECMAScript 4 (ES4)
I’m probably reading the wrong blogs, but it seems that ECMAScript 4 doesn’t get too much coverage. I mostly do simple stuff with ECMAScript, such as making testcases for XMLHttpRequest, but an update to the Web’s programming language certainly does excite me.

DHTML JavaScript Benchmark (DOM and innerHTML)
I’ve decide to measure JavaScript performance on some simple page generated with DHTML. I have three browsers available: Opera 9.01, Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.7 and Internet Explorer 6.0.3790.1830 (x64 and x86 versions). So, let’s see what they can do in one second.
