Dynamic programming languages such as JavaScript, Python and Ruby are gaining in popularity. These languages offer many features which ease the development of evolvable complex applications: a rapid development cycle, introspection, language extensibility, high level of abstraction, code migration, etc. Current implementations of these languages use highly complex multi-tier designs which nevertheless still lag in terms of performance when compared to static programming languages (C, Java, etc). The long term objectives of the proposed research program are to lower the development cost of VMs for dynamic programming languages and improve their performance.

动态编程语言如JavaScript、Python和Ruby越来越受欢迎。这些语言提供了许多功能，简化了发展的复杂的应用程序：一个快速的开发周期，内省，语言的可扩展性，高层次的抽象，代码迁移等，这些语言的当前实现使用高度复杂的多层设计，但仍然落后于静态编程语言（C，Java等）的性能相比。建议的研究计划的长期目标是降低动态编程语言的虚拟机的开发成本，并提高其性能。
