I'm curious how people feel about the JIT compilation time vs runtime tradeoff these days. Any good recent benchmarks?

Chapel folk did a really nice benchmark last year including Julia, where it landed pretty much right on the Pareto frontier of code size vs performance

I know that's not exactly answering your question, but you might be interested https://chapel-lang.org/ChapelCon/2024/chamberlain-clbg.pdf

The ~10-minute video for this talk is here, if anyone's interested in the narrative behind the slides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8KM8wv32js

Also if you exclude Julia's compile time (which may or may not be reasonable depending on what you're trying to measure), Julia would gain a lot in speed since almost all of these benchmarks are in the 0.5s to 10s range.
