How does Lucet's WebAssembly performance compare to LuaJIT (one of the fastest JITs in existence) right now including VM warm-up time? Also, what's the GUI story like outside of browsers?


I have not compared it to LuaJIT, but given that Lucet uses an AOT architecture, its hard to make a fair comparison.

There is no GUI story yet, but Lucet provides a WASI (https://wasi.dev) implementation, so as that standard evolves, we may be able to support GUIs through those interfaces.


What other fast JITs in existence are there that are worth noting?


HotSpot, the JavaScript JITs?
