What would be your programming language of choice to implement a JIT compiler ?

   Haskell LLVM JIT Compiler Tutorial

   

   I think for writing compilers Haskell deserves to make the list. It is really excellent at creating DSLs. https://www.stephendiehl.com/llvm/

3. miri

   2 124 5,139 10.0 Rust

   An interpreter for Rust's mid-level intermediate representation

   

   Depends on what you mean by "better experience". What the article doesn't mention is the fact that you can still run into undefined behavior (including pointer aliasing) in C/C++/Zig and have your programs exhibit unexplainable weirdness, but you won't get any help from the language/compiler to figure out where it's coming from. In Rust you just run MIRI which tells you exactly where you have undefined behavior as long as you have at least one test which exercises the affected code path.

4. rust-gc

   3 13 1,015 5.6 Rust

   Simple tracing (mark and sweep) garbage collector for Rust

   

   There's nothing stopping you from doing that in Rust. See rust-gc for an example of a GC implemented in Rust. Another example is mozjs, which is Rust bindings to SpiderMonkey. The GC there is implemented in C++, but it shows how you'd structure wrapper types for GC'd pointers in Rust so that you can use them safely, even with all the "ugliness" of a browser-grade GC.

5. mozjs

   Servo's SpiderMonkey fork

   Relax! Flux is the ML library that doesn't make you tensor

   

   I’m no compiler expert but check out flux and zygote https://fluxml.ai/ https://fluxml.ai/
