Thanks! I was briefly aware that BEAM has JIT capability but performance numbers usually put it next to other languages with interpreted bytecode so I assumed it was either not enabled or used in some specific scenarios. I should update my knowledge.

It's possible your previous knowledge was based on HiPE, which to my understanding was kind of sucky.

The new JIT in Erlang/OTP 26 is called BeamASM and is based upon asmjit
