"writing a browser" is a little bit of an exaggeration, since it's just all the chrome being implemented, and HTML rendering is handled by gecko. But, it's still a browser being implemented in js. It's pretty sweet.
I'm working on a tcpsocket API for js for the same project. It's being used to implement an imap client in js. It's all part of the boot 2 gecko project. It's quite fun!
Sounds good. Any chance you can encourage Mozilla to share UDP, TCP, POSIX with those outside of boot2gecko? i.e. someone else who wants to build something like boot2gecko but outside of Mozilla?
B2G is 100% open-source and developed in the open. They even take pull requests and have open meetings. They are going to be taking their work to standards bodies and hopefully a lot of it gets picked up.
