In short: a reasonably compliant, customizable VM without native dependencies, great for running code in cross-platform sandboxes.

A JIT is planned but not yet implemented.

I see "Life (JIT)" in the benchmark plot. What is it?

Well, there’s one in the repo that generates C code from the bytecode, compiles it with cc, and dynamic-loads it.

It does in fact have a JIT, but just for (32 bit) x86.
