Fireside chat on JIT compiler
"Good things come to those who wait" goes the saying, and indeed, after 10 years and several interesting attempts and research, Erlang 24.0 finally comes out of the box with a JIT (i.e. Just-In-Time) compiler that is impressive both in its performance, as well as its simplicity, and has gotten the entire BEAM community talking about it!
In this fireside chat, hosted by Stavros Aronis, Lukas Larsson and John Högberg will answer all your questions about the new JIT.
