JIT Compiler for scripting

[sudden jetty]

Are there any plans on adding jit compilation to let scripting run more smoothly?

quick js doesn't have that so pain

[sudden jetty]

they could implement v8. they just used quick js in the first place cause it’s easy to implement

[stoic topaz]

i really hope they switch quickjs to V8 or node, the performance could be a lot better

bun.js for minecraft bedrock 🤣

[stoic topaz]

lol yes

would be sick

[jolly marsh]

we asked that last time they basicly said no but we can ask them again. they said that it was be a nightmare making sure it works on all platforms

also rewiting the engine is another problem

[neat zodiac]

Let’s just keep asking them until they eventually do

[stoic topaz]

lol yes

I think tbis doesnt makes your pack faster idk if thats useful and point i see here its code safety so they cant still your ideas without that whole pack

[stoic topaz]

JIT is a LOT faster lol

[harsh shadow]

its not JIT is faster for load no for final execution if you have JIT library then its like instant load since there is no evalation

[stoic topaz]

uhh no lol

[harsh shadow]

hmmm Then ChatGPT is wrong

lol

[stoic topaz]

thats likely lol

Mentioned elsewhere and in this thread but our Javascript engine doesn't support JIT-ing. If one day we move to a different JS engine we can look into JIT (on some platforms anyways, many of our platforms don't support JIT-ing unforunately).
