That's quite a blast from the past.
Good on Aleksey for picking it up and modernizing libjit to this point.
And for everyone who thinks of LLVM in this context, here's a thread with some "primary sources" [1].

- zellyn 8y agoOh wow. I haven't seen those names in a loooong time. I used to lurk and follow the DotGNU mailing lists avidly :-)
- earenndil 8y agoAFAIK, llvm jit is incredibly slow, to the point that certain emulators that have used it have had to drop it for performance's sake.
- fasquoika 8y agoIIRC LLVM relatively recently did a major overhaul of the JIT API, including better support for lazy compilation. That might improve compilation speed drastically
- avdicius 8y agoThanks, Gopal. I didn't do much, just maintained it on life support. Recently some good contributors arrived: Jakob and Tom. Let's hope this really revives the project.
