“LanguageKit has supported just-in-time (JIT) compiling for a while, but in my last commit I added support for just-too-late (JTL) compiling too. The idea behind JIT compilation is that you only generate the executable code just before it’s called. With JTL compilation, we generate it afterwards. On the face of it, this isn’t very useful. In practice, applications run more than once, and the second time is now a fair bit faster.”
