Nashorn ( German " rhinoceros", pronounced [ˈnaːshɔɐ̯n]), initially known as Hornisse ( German " hornet"), was a German tank destroyer of World War II. It was developed as an interim solution in 1942 by equipping a light turretless chassis with the Pak 43 heavy anti-tank gun. Though only lightly armoured and displaying a high profile, it could frontally penetrate any Allied tank at long range, and its relatively low cost and superior mobility to heavier vehicles ensured it remained in production until the war's end.
Nashorn is a JavaScript engine developed in the Java programming language by Oracle. It is based on the Da Vinci Machine (JSR 292) and has been released with Java 8.
The project was announced first at the JVM language summit in July 2011, and then confirmed at JavaOne in October 2011.
On November 21, 2012, Oracle formally announced the open sourcing of the Nashorn source on the OpenJDK repository. The project aim will be to allow embedding JavaScript in Java applications via JSR-223 and to develop standalone JavaScript applications. On December 21, 2012, Oracle announced Nashorn source was publicly released in the OpenJDK repository.
