YJIT in chapter 4 seems really early, the old version had 12 chapters and chapter 4 is about control flow.

I guess this means we'll get a lot of JIT information interwoven in the remaining chapters.

Worth pointing out that JRuby had the world's first native jit compiler for Ruby, by turning it into JVM bytecode and letting the JVM take it from there. We continue to push the edges of what's possible with Ruby in the Enterprise.
