A light weight JIT compiler project for CRuby
JITs based on GCC/LLVM as recently introduced CRuby MJIT might be heavy and slow for some environments and applications. CRuby MJIT needs two tier compilation with a light weight compiler used as a tier 1 JIT compiler.
This talk will be about the light weight JIT compiler project for CRuby MJIT. The talk will cover the project motivations, current and future state of the project.
