Re: New project announcement - libjit

I think lightning is just an assembly/CPU abstraction
like the md_* abstraction pnet already has.

It is not a JIT abstraction like libjit. ie take
trees/3 address codes and allow to run it . 

Lightning could be a backend for libjit, not a
replacement. libjit should handle all
optimisation/liveness analysis and other black magic
to be done for fast execution.

Thats just my understanding.
