Just finished watching them, quite interesting, as usual. :)

Since I have seen a previous one about generic programming in D, and
given my interests in compiler design, I have found the HipHop one more
interesting to follow.

I fully agree with your remark about better having a dumb JIT than trying to optimize interpretation.

Unless you're running on secure hardware, and you can't JIT ;)

I wrote somewhere in the realm of 200 emulators, for more hardware than anyone should touch in a lifetime. I would have killed to be able to JIT!

Well optimised interpreters still have a place.
