TypeSafe's Jev is closed, hosted and waitlisted, so the open reimplementations started landing within a day. Laya, Kev, SemIf, NanoJev and jevlike, ranked by GitHub stars, with latency measured on an M3 Pro, the independent benchmark where Jev still wins on accuracy, and what each one actually needs to run.
