As others have said, Joel wants to write a JIT in OCaml rather than for OCaml.
Although the OCamlJIT project was a nice idea, it is based upon the now-dead
GNU Lightning library and its functionality was more recently displaced by
the much more performant ocamlnat.
However, I think tools to enable JIT writing using OCaml would be most
welcome. Not only the safe staged metaprogramming approach of MetaOCaml but
also direct code generators.
