While some argue that htmx is a library, it can also be considered a framework due to its impact on the project’s structure. If htmx is used to handle […]
Deegen is a research meta-compiler that automatically generates high-performance virtual machines (VMs) for dynamic languages. It takes in a semantic description of VM bytecodes in C++ and uses it to generate a high-performance VM at build time. Deegen has been used to generate a JIT-capable VM for Lua 5.1, named LuaJIT Remake, which includes optimizations […]
