Andrei Just finished watching them, quite interesting, as usual. :) Since I have seen a previous one about generic programming in D, and given my interests in compiler design, I have found the HipHop one more interesting to follow. I fully agree with your remark about better having a dumb JIT than trying to optimize interpretation. Unless you're running on secure hardware, and you can't JIT ;) I wrote somewhere in the realm of 200 emulators, for more hardware than anyone should touch in a lifetime. I would have killed to be able to JIT! Well optimised interpreters still have a place.
Yeah, I guess I was lucky not to have touched consoles. Actually I did buy PS2 Linux, but never did anything useful with it. You are right, without execute bit, it is a bit hard to JIT. -- Paulo
