It's built on top of the +excellent [`lightening`](https://gitlab.com/wingo/lightening) pure JIT library, +but adds a bytecode layer for systems that `lightening` doesn't support. The +bytecode layer also grants some QoL improvements, such as an (effectively) +unlimited number of virtual registers and a register allocator for mapping +theses virtual registers down to physical registers and a slightly easier to use +API (at least IMO). + +Documentation is still a bit lacking and the library is under active +development, but can already be used for some simpler usecases. See the +[`posthaste`](https://metanimi.dy.fi/cgit/posthaste/) language I implemented for +a university course for example. + +I also have a blog post about this library: https://metanimi.dy.fi/blog/ejit/ |
