JIT compilation (Just-In-Time)

Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation is a process used by some computer programs to improve performance. It translates code from a high-level language into machine-specific instructions right at the moment when the program is running, rather than before. This allows the program to run faster because the code is optimized for the specific hardware and can adapt dynamically as needed. Think of it as a chef preparing gourmet dishes on demand rather than preparing everything in advance, ensuring efficiency and customization based on real-time conditions.
