What about contacting Apple principals who maintain JSC and
checking whether they want to fix YARR? Just because their bug has
been idle for years does not mean we should assume they aren't
thinking of, planning, or even about to start working on JITting
all the regexps.
There hasn't been any meaningful amount of activity in Yarr for a long
time now. We reported various issues, sometimes with pointers to easy
fixes we applied, without ever getting even an aknowledgement.
Yes, not great, but see below.
For me, another key point is that we have various high-frequency
crashes and security issues in Yarr that we don't know how to fix.
Do we report these upstream?
Even if Apple were to fix the most important performance issues, this
situation wouldn't change meaningfully.
I meant by "contacting Apple" something other than reporting some bugs,
namely mailing the principals and raising the issues of common interest.
One time attempt. I can help.
