Mozilla will continue to use the tracing engine to JIT loops. It will fallback to the webkit js engine when the tracing JIT can't be used.

We just started our open source task site but there are two notable tasks for the languages you listed: Fix Audio Sync against Video in live555.cpp, $500 http://nextsprocket.com/tasks/fix-audio-sync-against-video-i...
Nokogiri pure-Java version for JRuby, >$600 http://nextsprocket.com/tasks/nokogiri-pure-java-version-for...
the nokogiri problem's been around and people are dying for a good solution!
From I what i could tell, it's about listening to music online. Where does the paypal payments factor in?
The site is intended to cater to two types: Task Creator: a developer who comes across a bug, missing feature in an open source project. this developer posts the task on nextsprocket for a small reward amount.
Task Solver: Anyone can come along, see the task, submit the patch to the OS project and submit it as a solution on nextsprocket. The task creator will select the correct solution. Or reject with a note like "it didn't satisfy this test case"
it's different from the crowdspring/99designs model because every developer can benefit from solution because the tasks are for open source projects.
there's work on a clojure port on the CLR, u can check out more on the clojure website or the github project page.
