More and more parts are being rewritten in JavaScript, for all the obvious reasons (high-level language, no buffer issues etc.) I don't have the time to run a full code line counter, but:

gerv@otter:mozilla$ find . -name "*.cpp" -exec cat {} \; | wc -l
2211031
gerv@otter:mozilla$ find . -name "*.js" -exec cat {} \; | wc -l
1065187
gerv@otter:mozilla$

Seems to be about 65:35 at the moment. Hardly just "the glue".
