From: Wade Curry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
So, what is the difference between JIT compiling and just
interpreting and saving the compiled objects (runtime compiled)?
Java obviously gets compiled in a separate step, rather than
happening at the time of the first execution; is there something
special about byte compiling Java code that would differentiate it
in other ways from the interpreted model?
Java compiles its byte code (or some portion of it) into native asm at run
time, and keeps the native asm around. Same idea, one step further. It may
get it a smidge more performance that way, but for the most part its a
buzzword Javaites use so they can claim they're better than interpreted
languages.
