> We're working on making this a bit more commoditized but in our opinion you will always need to do some work since having another IR (with defined semantics someone could write a code generator for you) for a back-end is very expensive.

I've been nipping at the edges of adapting the vmIDL from vmgen and using that to generate the machinery to do some jitting. But I'm slow and lazy...

The general idea is to have the hypothetical user define the operands of their IR along with the code snippets and use this to stitch together a jit compiler library. Or perhaps a wrapper around an existing jit library, dunno. Either way it gives me some yaks to shave which makes me happy.
