> A very-low-overhead JIT using DynASM
Interesting. DynASM [1] is the template assembler used in LuaJIT, so it sounds like they might be JIT'ing CPython bytecode. IIRC this is also what the first version of Pyston did. I'm curious how this is working out, both implementation and performance-wise compared to LLVM (used in Pyston v1). That could mean there is a lot of performance still on the table, at least for some kinds of code, but also a big complexity jump to get further gains.
