I may need to look at this later in my case (could be interesting).


in my case, personally I could make little sense of the ECMAScript
spec in the past. then again, my implementations tend to work a bit
differently internally than in the spec (using built-in types and a
Scheme-like typesystem instead of the implied object-based one, ...).

ECMA-335 is about the .NET CLI/CTS though...
implementing this seems a little "extreme" for implementing ECMAScript.


granted, if one wants a general-purpose VM, 335 is a good bet.
