Hermes: better performance with runtime bytecode translation - Tzvetan Mikov | RUC 2024

I just need that react native have a list component who supported for chat app which maintain visible content when we prepend the item

I'd like to know how or if the (better) JIT handles calls to other native code we already know native code has a zero cost call stack so maybe the turbo modules might get an update where the costs are zero too? I mean it feels already instant for my use cases

Wait wait wait. Now hold on a minute. How would you execute arbitrary machine code on an execution-verified platform?? (iOS, PlayStation, XBox, etc.) You can’t just jump to a memory page that doesn’t have a valid code signature. And on iOS you can’t make one on-the-fly since it requires an entitlement that Apple gives basically only to Safari. (I don’t believe you can ever do that on Xbox) This approach is nothing particularly new in the JIT world. Problem is, it will not run on iOS. Other platforms may benefit from this though, sure. But I’d say iOS is pretty big nowadays.

Interesting stuff, he talked a lot of performance, but didn't really bring up memory usage, I imagine it's slightly better as well.. Also with these developments I wonder why we can't get hermes on the server as well.. Seems like a no brainer that we should be putting this everywhere
