Michael Engel on Nostr: A question for my CS colleagues. I'm looking for examples for interpreters or JIT ...
A question for my CS colleagues. I'm looking for examples for interpreters or JIT compilers in places one would not necessary expect in an operating system at runtime (in the widest possible context). Obvious examples are IMHO shells or (e)BPF/dtrace scripts. Some more exotic uses I can think of are interpreters for vector fonts (e.g. PS Type1 or TT hints) or the use of Prolog in the network configuration of NT4.
Do you know other examples?
