 = JS =
+* jsdbg2 {{bug|672829}} has landed.
+** Congrats to Jason Orendorff and Jim Blandy!
+** This is the new debugging API for JS.
+** It will make debuggers more robust and enable new capabilities (e.g., eventually, remote debugging).
+* Brian Hackett's type inference branch is landing soon (1-2 weeks).
+** Looking pretty good, so not too worried
+** We do have a backup plan in place: Brian will be maintaining a TI-free branch on the side.
+* JS runtimes (class JSRuntime) are going to become single-threaded soon.
+** Luke will add assertions that fire if you use a runtime in a multithreaded manner.
+** There are still a few MT usages left in the browser (e.g., {{bug|679036}} ), so we'll turn on those asserts only when they are cleared away.
