It would be interesting if LDC could hook into it.

Sounds interesting, once the MIR backend/translator from LLVM IR 
is complete. The guy apparently has to fight the ABI insanities 
imposed by LLVM - I feel your pain, dude. :]

yeah maybe but good blog post quality here anyway, thanks for 
sharing this. Interesting read.

well maybe the only criticism I would have toward the article is 
that it says that libfirm is a huge codebase (140 KSLOC) without 
more details. It is indeed but it compiles very fast in itself (3 
or 4 seconds here). So maybe firm **JIT** is not as good as the 
author's one but it's mostly a back end in first place, with 
optional jitting feature. Then as a backend, it's faster to 
compile than LLVM.

Hmm MJIT looks rather horrible ... There are macros everywhere 
which is how it achives the small size.
