I'm not sure if this is the right group/list for this topic, but
from what I've read from comp.infosystems.www.browsers.*, the NS
backend is basically portable C, with custom frontends written on for
each platform. According to a Netscape dude there, they plan to clean up
this codebase and then release that.

The Javascape project (Netscape programmed in Java) appears to be an
entirely different thing.

Now why can I only think "How slow can you go?"
