Just put up a video and slides from a talk I gave recently at Northeastern and CMU (https://vimeo.com/940568191, https://cfallin.org/pubs/weval_seminar_slides.pdf) about stuff I've been doing lately with JavaScript ahead-of-time compilation, partial evaluation, and Wasm. Still very work-in-progress (trip was for other reasons, talks were a side-bonus) but if anyone's curious, there it is! (Related / followup to https://cfallin.org/blog/2023/10/11/spidermonkey-pbl/ as well.) More to come on this as it's closer to polish / release.

@cfallin@mastodon.world Thanks for sharing! How much of a performance gap do you expect between weval at its ceiling vs. optimized JS running in its "native environment" at higher optimization tiers — and do you think the remaining gap is mostly the residual type guards, or something deeper in the approach?
