Implement new JIT using Eclipse OMR JIT framework #110

Open dibyendumajumdar opened 7 years ago

IBM has open sourced the J9 JIT engine under Eclipse umbrella.

I'd like to support this Ravi in the hope that this will provide a lighter weight and faster JIT compiler compared to LLVM.

There is an IBM initiative to create a Lua JIT using OMR. https://github.com/Leonardo2718/lua-vermelha Best to wait and see how that goes.

Looking at this again in the quest for a small but optimizing JIT backend
