General-purpose Python JIT? Is the free lunch coming?

Taine Zhao is a master student at University of Tsukuba studying Programming Languages and active in open-source projects. Taine is familiar with functional programming languages such as Haskell, OCaml and F#, but also has a passion for dynamic programming languages such as Julia and Python.

JIT for Dynamic Programming Languages Considered Easy

We start from scratch, optimising an exemplar Python program and simultaneously introducing our JIT compilation method.  

OBJECTIVE: Showing the audience that 1. there is an easy approach to JITing dynamic programs 2. the general-purpose JIT compiler by our approach is now available  

AUDIENCE: Programmers who are interested in faster dynamic programming languages, especially Python programmers.  Researchers who are interested in optimisations for dynamic programming languages.
