Hi there!

Would a JIT make spidermonkey significantly faster?

Because JS is a weak-typed language, its harder to build a JIT, but e.g Psycho (a JIT for Python) does the same for python and speeds up about 2x-4x which would be cool.

Although JITs are very complex and platform dependent it would be hard to build it.....

Any ideas or useable code laying arround?
