@thlorenz @bmeurer Cool stuff, @thlorenz! Turbolizer started as (and pretty much remains) a skunkworks project. If you have suggestions or fixes, let me know!

[Daniel Clifford @expatdanno]

@mraleph oh, you’re totally right about the complexity thing. I couldn’t resist trolling you a bit tho, and as you know it’s the dilemma we wrestle with every day in V8: balancing the minimization of complexity on the vm-side with maximizing developer efficiency, productivity and reach.

[Daniel Clifford @expatdanno]

Big day for V8! We officially announced our intent to fully ship Ignition and TurboFan in V5.9 (Chrome M59 Stable)! https://t.co/weCPSzrU40

[Daniel Clifford @expatdanno]

Nice to see the correlation between the real-world V8 client-side optimizations and nodejs perf! https://t.co/ZgfSQBa3e1

[Benedikt Meurer @bmeurer]

Similarly the team boosted @NodeJS throughput on AcmeAir by 45% with I+TF! Real-world performance FTW! 🔥🎉

[Daniel Clifford @expatdanno]

Great client-side V8 performance wins with Ignition, Turbofan and whole host of other runtime optimizations! https://t.co/yfetw1fbp6

[Benedikt Meurer @bmeurer]

A rough breakdown of the boost from M57 to M58. Execution time on Android Nexus 5X in this case! 🎉

A very comprehensive discussion about why the performance of ES2015+ features matters and what V8 is doing about it. https://t.co/ECOIe2mai2

[Michael Hablich @MHablich]

Let's make ES2015+ fast! https://t.co/DUWlloKn5t

[Daniel Clifford @expatdanno]

Never seen V8 used as clickbait before, but the story about V8's real-world performance focus is right on the money. https://t.co/iqOEgpCZ3I

Take V8's new Ignition interpreter and Turbofan optimizing compiler for a test drive: https://t.co/FgXRCoJ4fd

Very cool optimization work going on in V8's RegExp engine: https://t.co/q61EkCqdjZ

[Daniel Clifford @expatdanno]

Great background on the V8 team’s focus on measuring & improving real-world performance. https://t.co/e30qkb1sN0

[Daniel Clifford @expatdanno]

A nice deep-dive and good context to why the V8 team is no longer using these benchmarks as a primary driver of our optimizations. https://t.co/XVBmwczoKN

Just finished a new blog post "The truth about traditional JavaScript benchmarks " https://t.co/LflJPSm64B #JavaScript #Chrome #NodeJS

The WebAssembly Browser Preview in Chrome is here! Kudos to Chrome’s Wasm teams on both sides of the Atlantic.
