I somehow doubt that Opera’s JS implementation is available as an open-source project :)

Opera Mini 4 is very cool… It’s fast, renders well, AND it saves me on data transfer costs. Nice one Opera :)

Just waiting for Opera 9 Mobile now too… hehe…

Rhino is Mozilla’s java based JavaScript implementation:

They have support for ECMAScript 4? Isn’t that still being hammered out?

But what is “rhino”? What does it mean that it sounds like rhino?

@eh: spanish to english translated idiom.
What he means to say, to use the english idiom:
“…server-side ECMAScript 4…”? Sounds like Rhino to me.

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for — Opera Mini JS Detail. Many thanks, Rey. Dev.Opera’s been interesting as of late. Onto the coding!
“…full support for ECMAScript 4…” – I know it, for fun, just run jquery.com/test through Opera Mini and watch it pass (!) with flying colors!
More phone-y jQuery to come…
