@jstepien it’s true. That’s another good choice.

@regehr it’s a fun way to teach

Gotta change instances. Any suggestions?

Discuss.systems and indieweb.social are probably top runners…

@regehr I also truly adore the idea of Lazy Basic Block Versioning, put into production by Maxime Chevalier-Boisvert in YJIT

Evaluated here https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3617651.3622982

@regehr There's also some good stuff here: https://github.com/mgaudet/SpiderMonkeyBibliography

including the original TraceMonkey paper, as well as some exploitation reports (in my experience, students quite enjoy a good exploit story if you can tell it :D )

@regehr

Biased, but I think that this is a good intro to the underappreciated inline caching in JITs: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3617651.3622979

Lots of people seem to be confused. There are three very separable problems:

• Sending billionaires to Mars.
• Making it possible for humans to survive the trip to Mars.
• Making it possible for humans to survive on Mars.

The second two are in no way a prerequisite for the first.

@mconley I'm very excited for us to a have a real git-upstream so I can complete my explorations

Though I worry the answer I actually will end up on will be a custom submit plugin for sapling :S
