no, it is not. 
Igor (creator and maintainer) did not show any interest on continue with it and 
frankly, the amount of work to make it work plus the security concerns showed 
by some people (having executable memory will not pass many revisions in many 
places) made us take the hard decision of not continue supporting it as 
integral part of Pharo. 
But of course, anyone can take it and make it work, it will need a couple of VM 
tweaks (to make memory executable) and re-introduce the NB plugin, but that is 
the easy part… I would help with that if people show interest :)

well… it *should be* in http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Pharo/AsmJit  but I’m sure 
is not in sync (it you can copy latests packages there, it would be cool)
