Basic Concepts

• AST Abstract Syntax Tree. A tree representation of a source code. This is the way specializers modify and convert codes.
• JIT Just in Time. Refers to the "just in time" compilation of the code, which is the compilation done during execution of a program.
• Transformer Same as Visitor with the difference that Transformers can modify the tree they are traversing.
• Visitor A class that traverses an AST and executes actions based on the values of specific types of node, but without modifying them.
