Presumably it gives the JIT more type information, parent example was specifically about one of the type-check functions you can use for guards (is_float). While running it'll use the is_float information to generate code for the float case, and bail out if the actual values fail the guards at runtime.

Other JITS like V8 will do things like speculative inlining and inserting its own type guards , but if this JIT is "Admittedly an extremely simple one" then it presumably doesn't do much of that.

Now I’m curious; what book of grammar was it? What did the exercises look like? What other languages and strategies did you use?

What would you say some of these pros and cons would be? I don’t think anyone really speaks about the possible negatives of having strong mental imagery would be

I really enjoy tiled words, thanks for making this new addition to my daily routine!

I usually play chess with just my mousepad, so I've basically always just dragged and dropped. Playing click and click feels about the same speed, but I'm less used to it; maybe I'll try use it more in the future. I think Andrew Tang does drag and drop, and he's the fastest I've ever seen; I don't know if people like Danya or Hikaru do drag and drop, might be interesting to get some kind of statistical analysis of that.

>I’ve always been a good deal better (maybe a couple hundred ELO points) at blitz (3+0 or 5+0) than bullet (1+0).

I've basically always found that my bullet rating is at least 100 rating points higher than my blitz on lichess; possibly because I've wasted too much of my youth on bullet

Although in a Lisp such as Scheme, you could pass around the negation operator in something like (map - '(1 2 3)), so it would be a valid concern that it might clash.

No problem! I had fun making it, for such a silly little project it's given me a surprising amount of joy. If you want to look at another cool project that's tangentially related, have a look at Sectorlisp.
