The Life of a Bytecode Language
- sieve 2y agoNicely explained. And love the artwork. I prefer interpreters when playing with the syntax. But once you are serious about taking it further, bytecode is a very good choice because you still maintain control over the execution. Once the code is translated to machine code, you lose that. Running bytecode on a JIT machine can be quite fast even if you skimp on the optimization passes.
