summary

Explains the Futamura projections: a partial evaluator specialized on an interpreter yields a compiled program (first projection), specializing the specializer yields a compiler (second/third projections). Describes a real-world stack: GraalVM/Truffle implements the idea, hosts a JavaScript interpreter whose generated compiler claims performance competitive with V8, runs Ruby in production, and uses Sulong for LLVM bitcode — notes LLVMGo integration currently fails so Go support is incomplete.
