> Smalltalk environments often were priced where only enterprises could pay for them There were also packages available for less than 100$. There were even free ST compilers.

But the bytecode is interpreted, isn't it? The PUC Lua VM is a bytecode interpreter as well.

If using LuaJIT it would be faster than CPython for sure, maybe even as fast as PyPy. Here are some measurement results comparing the C++ SOM interpreter with a LuaJIT bytecode compiler: https:/…

Yes, LLVM is huge, but there are a couple of interesting alternatives such as sljit, see e.g. https://github.com/wdv4758h/awesome-jit Even LuaJIT can be used as a backend for oth…

Interesting. Here is also a podcast about the topic: https://thinkingelixir.com/podcast-episodes/017-jit-compiler... Had a brief look at asmjit; as it seems it only supports x86 …

I watched the talk some days ago. You apparently came to another conlusion. Do you have references about the case you mentioned?
