A JIT compiler is a compiler that emits machine code the first time that code is run, vs an AOT compiler which emits machine code when the code is built.
- vanderZwan 3y agoDid you already know what a JIT was before reading the article though? Confirming what you already know is a different thing than grokking it the first time. Plus in my brief but intense experience as someone teaching programming to artistic types who are scared of maths, it's more useful to evaluate explanations by the possibility of being misunderstood and overwhelming, than the possibility of correctly interpreting it.
