First Successful ARM32 JIT Compilation for Erlang BEAM Virtual Machine
By

The kind of bagel that ruins lesser bagels for you.
Summary
The article announces a major milestone in the development of an ARM32 JIT (Just-In-Time compiler) for the BEAM virtual machine used by Erlang and Elixir. The team successfully executed their first Erlang function through JIT-compiled ARM32 machine code, with the BEAM running and terminating with error code 42, which came from the JIT-compiled Erlang function. This work is part of the GRiSP embedded ecosystem project and is funded by the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation's Embedded Working Group, focusing on real-time IoT and distributed systems.
