Congrats for the author. Though I wonder: what's the catch when it comes to perf? I can't imagine QEMU devs leaving much performance on the table either.

- jart 4y agoBlink is currently weak in a few areas, like SSE floating point instructions, which aren't JIT'd very well. Blink is also weak at x87 floating point emulation, which gets truncated to double precision. I anticipate issues like these will improve quite rapidly. It was only two months ago, before I started optimizing this project, that Blink went the same speed as Bochs (i.e. 100x slower). Today, Blink is running slow start ephemeral programs such as GCC 2x faster than Qemu, and Blink now has comparable speed at some mathematical benchmarks, such as elliptic curve crypto.
