    In case you refer to JavaScript here, I'm afraid such JIT can't be ported between ISAs. A JIT compiler which compiles JavaScript code to PPC machine code must be written in PPC ASM, and unfortunately we can't use the TenFourFox one because WebKit is dependant on JavaScriptCore. That's why bigfoot has been working on such JIT for the last 3 years.

    Just what Mark needs, another project.
    Still, can't think of anyone better to pursue this.
