Compiling Bigloo Scheme to WebAssembly (igalia.com)
In the JavaScript world, browser implementations have focused on JIT compilation as a high-performance implementation technique. Recently, new applications of JS, such as on cloud compute and edge compute platforms, have driven interest in non-JIT implementations of the language. For these kinds of use cases, fast startup and predictable performance can make traditional implementation approaches appealing. An example implementation is QuickJS, which compiles JS to a bytecode format and interprets the bytecodes.
