That's all well and good, but github is blocked where I work.
If you don't mind me asking, why is github blocked?

in a lot of places (if you are not a developer) everything non-work related is blocked. It's stupid, but i've seen this often with friends.

It does link to https://github.com/nbp/holyjit which explains pretty much everything there is to explain so far...

That's all well and good, but you need to raise that with your IT department if it is an inconvenience rather than complaining to us.
It seems odd that github would be blocked especially given HN isn't unless your company has some sort of pathological fear of accidental IP dilution, so perhaps it is a mistake that will be quickly corrected once pointed out?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Grail , "Graal" is an archaic spelling of "Grail".
FWIW, it's the current spelling in some languages (e.g. French).
Actually it is speculated that the the origin ist "Sang(re) Real" ( royal blood ) which metamorphosed into San Graal. Looking for it meant to search for the ( possible) lost blood line of Jesus, I think.

#97I admire how mozilla is so passionate about what they develop but still, in 2017, firefox needs restart every couple of hours for performance reasons. I kinda of feel like they have the proof of concept working but its never good enough for the wider audience.
Get Quantum. Serious improvement

> For what it's worth, the name is obviously a pun and a small wink to the Graal VM It might be that, but not "obviously". In fact it could also be totally unrelated. One can imagine devs naming something "Holy" without wanting to reference TempleOS, the Graal VM etc. Religious inspired references are perfectly common in themselves.
http://nbp.github.io/slides/HolyJit/JitTeamIntro/ pretty much proves it. Mouse over page 1 and you read: "The name is a reference to another project named GraalVM, except that the goal of this project is not to make a VM, but only to make a JIT as a library."
This settles it then!
