What's still missing is a faster AST interpreter for CTFE

A JIT would be nice. -- Andrei
I'm not so sure CTFE would ever get out of the warmup debt
JITs incur,
ctfe bits usually don't live very long.
A JIT would pay off where it matters - intensive use of CTFE
leading to long compilations. -- Andrei
I can talk from first hand experience here, as SDC uses ONLY JIT
for CTFE.
It turns out that it is slower in the general case where you some
small computation, but way faster as soon as you run something
non trivial.
I don't think it would be a good move to integrate it as this,
but coupled with some heuristic, it would be great.
