Earlier quoted context omitted.

You got your reply already. To add: YJIT is the one that does "basic block versioning" (Which was Maxime's thesis) while ZJIT is a more traditional design. I am confident in that description but don't actually know what it means in practice (yes I've seen papers and talks, but I kinda need not-compiler-engineer to explain it to me.) As I understand it BBV still holds promise, but the sheer volume of knowledge of more…

I gave a talk about ZJIT and the motivation for the change at RubyKaigi 2025 if people are curious. It's on YouTube.

Thanks for all your work Maxime!
