Just-in-time compilation

Just-in-time (JIT) compilation is the process of converting an intermediate format (i.e. bytecode) to native code at runtime. As this results in native code execution, it is a method of avoiding the runtime cost of using an interpreter while maintaining some of the benefits that led to the development of interpreters.
