Jit on PC platform?

[paulsapps]

I know a core idea behind this language is that it should be fast without a Jit since native code gen on Consoles/mobile is forbidden. However on Windows/OSX/Linux it is not forbidden.

Are there any forks which implement a Jit - would a Jit ever be considered?

Not to my knowledge. and the language is not mature, so it may be too soon yet for JIT.

I'm certainly not opposed to other implementations of Wren that JIT, but it's probably unlikely that the the implementation I maintain will. I don't have the expertise to write and maintain a JIT.

Question: I usually use Asmjit when it comes to JIT and I'd gladly try to add that to Wren, but as far as i know Wren should stay C Compliant? Is it maybe possible to add that as optional module?

@feliwir If you want something in C, you could try DynAsm...

@refi64 DynAsm requires Lua during the build stage, if this is prefered i can also go that route i guess. But it should be a seperate module or something like this

Yes, the core Wren implementation is plain and should be plain C. I also think it should avoid the complexity of a JIT. If you'd like to fork Wren and add it there, that would be totally great. I just want to ensure that this implementation of Wren stays pretty simple and hackable.
