  • deno-llvm-jit

    Deno LLVM JIT example

    Here is how you use JIT when targeting LLVM: https://github.com/glebbash/deno-llvm-jit/blob/main/sum.c.

  • Oberon

    Oberon parser, code model & browser, compiler and IDE with debugger

    I actually had a similar problem some years ago and finally moved away from LLVM because of complexity, continuous research effort and performance. My current Oberon+ implementation works like this: the CIL code generator together with Mono is used during development, integrated with the IDE, using the debugging features integrated in Mono; to deploy the application and to gain another factor 2 of performance C99 instead of CIL can be generated and compiled with any compatible toolchain. Here are some performance measurements: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Oberon/blob/master/testcases/Are-we-fast-yet/Are-we-fast-yet_results_linux.pdf. Compiling to CIL is very fast and the time Mono needs to compile and run is barely noticable.
