It’s time to present the solution to the JIT calculator challenge! If you missed it, here’s the original post in which I introduced it. It was a nice excuse to finally learn more about JIT compilation! I wasn’t alone in this, many people were nerd-sniped into implementing their own solutions and sent me their submissions. Thanks for participating! I’ll discuss them in a third blog post, to keep this one from becoming too long.| Adolfo Ochagavía
Advent of code has come and passed, what should I do now with so much free time? Fear not! The JIT calculator challenge is here. 1. The challenge Back when Rust was in its infancy, the official website featured an example program to showcase the language’s syntax. It was a toy calculator, implemented as an interpreter in 20 lines of code. Why talk about website archaeology, though? We are not here for nostalgia’s sake, are we?| Adolfo Ochagavía
