Just finished reading that blog entry. Unfortunately it was not as informative as I was hoping. It gave a basic overview of interpreters and JIT and then a more detailed overview of recompilers. Also his terminology (compilation, dynamic compilation, jit compilation, AoT/static compilation, jit, advanced jit, recompilation, etc.) is really confusing and seems off.
What is listed:
-interpreter
-JIT
-recompiler/advanced jit
What is should be (I think, I could be wrong):
-interpreter
-JIT recompiler
-Static recompiler/More advanced JIT recompiler
Both sections 2 and 3 talk about translating code from MC -> MC so they should both be considered recompilers. And translating the entire program binary would be static recompilation.
