Comment on YJIT: Building a New JIT Compiler for CRubyparent

Comments

I went to a talk by the (one-of?) leads behind Truffle and it looks really great, but getting all C libs to work reliably did seem to be a big issue.

The performance of Truffle is amazing when it works, but I think the compatability issue is going to hamstring it for a while.

The reason I’m asking is that Graal also has an LLVM frontend, meaning that C libs should mostly work just fine within the VM (with the added benefit of possibly inlining them, further increasing performance)
