What is your impression of libjit? It looks really nice. I've only tried GNU Lightning, and I made Python bindings for it (although, today I would have used cffi to interface with it instead of my ctypes approach, because of the header files): https://github.com/cslarsen/lyn

I'd love to see a comparison of the various JIT libraries. I guess both give you optimizations and register allocation for free. Of course, the JITting speed is quite important as well.

It seemed pretty solid though I didn't do anything too complicated with it.

Mostly what messing around with it did was taught me that I had a lot to learn about compiler construction which is what I've been slowly doing since then.
