Compiling Ruby to machine language
SMRTR summary
Ruby's new JIT compilers, YJIT and ZJIT, monitor how frequently code sections run and automatically convert heavily-used Ruby code into faster machine language when usage exceeds a threshold of 30-120 calls. This compilation process uses branch stubs to handle unknown data types and creates optimized machine code blocks that execute significantly faster than standard Ruby instructions.
