JIT

Roto marks its first year with six releases, substantial language and Rust-interop enhancements, external adoption (Iocaine), branding updates, and a clear roadmap including tooling improvements.

LuaJIT significantly outperforms Lua interpreters in energy efficiency and speed, narrowing the gap to C but still trailing it on both metrics.

A solo developer chronicles building a low-level, statically-typed language (pslang) for game modding, detailing its architecture (parser, IR, AArch64 backend), an interpreter/JIT path, and future plans, with concrete data points such as ~10k lines of C++ code and a 1k-line Monte Carlo path tracer.
