For some reason I thought Eich had gone back to CTO. I guess after the controversy that wasn't really possible.
I wonder - did they check his political donations?
As with every other Mozilla story posted over the past couple weeks, this may end up getting flagged/controversy-filtered off the front page quickly. Dang, if that happens, could we possibly get an exception? I'm tired of everything Mozilla-related getting swept under the rug around here.
Before joining Mozilla, he worked on JITs for Java, and after he joined Mozilla, he worked on JITS for JavaScript mostly, from memory.
Good luck, Andreas. Thanks, Brendan.
The link to Shumway is broken, FYI.
My only question and request to the new CTO. Please accelerate Project Async and e10sm2.

Andreas is the perfect choice for this role. Top notch technical abilities, and very nice human being if you like the "no bullshit" way of doing things.
