Re:V8 Sparkplug – A non-optimizing JavaScript compiler by tamlin on Thursday May 27, 2021 @02:20PM (#27306307)
Very cool, that's a decent performance bump.

It'd be nice to have some simple benchmarks that directly compare ignition, sparkplug and turbofan (and full-codegen too). And also time spent compiling.

It looks somewhat similar to context threading as I remember it:

but it's been a while...

Ha-ha, the stacks grow downwards button is priceless :-D
