- protopete 12y agoAOT: ahead of time JIT: just in time Compiler applies to both of them.

- bzbarsky 12y agoV8 has no interpreter. Just a pair of compilers (first tier and second tier), which compile stuff lazily at the point when it needs to run. Would you call that an "AOT compiler"? Because most people wouldn't.
