Demi Marie Obenour@dalias @lispi314 @theearthisapringle @swordgeek @hayley What kind of performance can one get from a type-1 only JIT? If one only compiles to a bytecode then performance is limited to that of an interpreter, and my understanding is that even threaded code is still quite a bit slower than native code (due to CPU branch predictor limitations I think?). On the other hand, compiling to a safe low-level IR (such as WebAssembly or a typed assembly language) and generating machine code from that could get great performance, but that requires trusting the assembler (which, while probably much simpler than a full JS engine, isn’t trivial either).
