   Well, code size is another interesting aspect here. A JIT compiler can effectively create any number of versions for a hot method, based on even very aggressive assumptions (an easy one would be that a given object is non-null, or that the

    Thank you very much for checking it out! I was afraid no one will take a look because it‘s not that particularly interesting on the surface. Regarding verbosity, the foreign function&memory interface is deliberately very low-level, they
