==JIT==

The following paragraph is highly technical, ~~if it's too technical for you to understand all you need to know is that~~: JIT allows for extremely fast programs/apps and due to its fast nature it's used almost everywhere, and is a massive improvement over older code interpreters.

The following paragraph is highly technical, basically: JIT allows for extremely fast programs/apps and due to its fast nature it's used almost everywhere, and is a massive improvement over older code interpreters.

[[wikipedia:Just-in-time compilation|JIT]], which stands for Just-In-Time, is a method of code execution where code, instead of being compiled before being distributed (like an EXE), gets compiled into machine code in real time right before being executed. This method of code execution allows for much faster website loading times, faster emulation, faster program execution (with programs written in JavaScript, Python, Lua...) compared to interpreters, which instead translates code into machine code line by line, which is much, much slower; JIT also employs many more optimization techniques meant to improve performance.
