- maxime_cb 7mo agoMax Bernstein is now leading the team. He's also an excellent compiler engineer.
- claudiug 7mo agothat is great to hear!
- schneems 7mo agoYou got your reply already. To add: YJIT is the one that does "basic block versioning" (Which was Maxime's thesis) while ZJIT is a more traditional design. I am confident in that description but don't actually know what it means in practice (yes I've seen papers and talks, but I kinda need not-compiler-engineer to explain it to me.) As I understand it BBV still holds promise, but the sheer volume of knowledge of more traditional methods might mean it gets better outcomes (also IIRC ZJIT is still lagging YJIT).
