Thanks for your message Paulo.

Actually, of all the JIT libraries I have cited, GNU lightning is
probabnly the one I am the more familiar with. Long time ago, I coded
ocamljit - a small JIT for ocaml bytecode - in it (but the current
ocamljit2 is probably unrelated to it).


I'm interested by your OWL work (did you know that as a computer
language, OWL means quite often
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Ontology_Language ?)

But I am not able to find out some small examples of OWL code and/or
some syntax (and semantic) definition of your OWL. Or is OWL a JIT for
full C (e.g. able to interpret any C program)?

How do you code fibionacci and hello world in OWL? How do you code a
program reading a list of integers and computing the list of their
square?

And back to David Malcolm's GCC JIT, would you find easy to re-implement
OWL in it?

Cheers.
