You never know. At the time it was a cool idea and inspiring to some. Of course, these days everyone and their dog are doing JIT, but at that time it was either in arcane Lisp world or somewhere buried within Sun. Lightning was there for all to read.
So you'll have to accept thanks from me, anyway :-)

A lot of the ideas for lightning came from ccg (Ian Piumarta) and vcode (Fraser, IIRC). Don't forget Self and Smalltalk JITs!

Thanks for the pointers!

I knew (well, at my very humble level, anyway) about those. But were they in the open back then?
