* The JIT now works for 64-bit ARM processors, including M1

* The JIT now does type-based optimizations based on type information in the BEAM files.



Previously (Erlang/OTP 24 highlight)

"The BeamAsm JIT-compiler has been added to Erlang/OTP and will give a significant performance boost for many applications. The JIT-compiler is enabled by default on most x86 64-bit platforms that have a C++ compiler that can compile C++17."


Easily the best feature in this release if you do your dev work on an Apple Silicon Mac (or Raspberry Pi, I guess?).

Also great if you have the option of deploying on AWS Graviton or similar.
