At what part I said that Its all done over a weekend?

from the post "..Last weekend I could finish the prototype and measure the initial performance of the solution.."

If you still understand that it's all finished over a weekend. No way.. I don't think it is easy to develop a LLVM frontend with those features over a weekend.

If you could have some details on LLVM, you wouldn't accuse me on something you miss read.

Because;

There is no such an LLVM JS engine. LLVM has its own IR and that prototype turns the JS codes into a wrapped LLVM IR.. As a result the final code functions at native level, so it is already fast.

For this reason, 20% or more performance difference because of LLVM actually shows how V8 is fast! It doesn't show the prototype is over a weekend or anything else..
