Yay a new part of chromium with a new name made by different people (probably) than the original v8 people. Seems like Google has an affliction of “not invented by me”.

Just read the first sentence if you are thinking I’m being a bit harsh:

“We’ve previously made a case why four tiers in V8(Google internal) make sense to explain why Sparkplug made sense in addition to Ignition, TurboProp and TurboFan. TurboProp was a midtier compiler proposal based on TurboFan to significantly improve compilation speed while compromising on the performance of the resulting code. With Sparkplug in place, however, the design tradeoffs TurboProp made by being built on top of TurboFan didn’t end up panning out. ”
