Article name

The engine is called V8, right? Not V8 JavaScript engine? So shouldn't the article rather be named V8 (JavaScript engine)? — Northgrove 08:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Is V8 an engine or only an interpreter? I mean, chrome uses also webcore/JavaScriptCore as engine and only v8 as interpreter (and safari SquirrelFish/Extreme...), or am I wrong? ~~

V8 is Chrome's JavaScript engine. In all release builds of both Chrome and Chromium, V8 does all the JavaScript execution. The source tree does include JavaScriptCore, but is only enabled if the compilation is specifically configured to do so. This is done for the purposes of comparison between the two engines. Any binary you get from an official source, whether it be Chrome or Chromium, uses only V8 to parse and execute JavaScript. And technically, V8 is not an interpreter as it only executes machine code generated from JavaScript. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.199.93.253 (talk) 01:55, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
