Will be interesting to see how the Javascript performance goes using the Guile VM. Can an JIT be added to this to make it comparable performance wise with V8, and other Javascript engines, someday, on both x86 and ARM...

You need an awful lot more than a JIT to get comparable performance to V8 and the other modern JS engines.

Even if you do that, V8 is still a lot slower than LuaJIT ;}
