I have a subscription to Nature but most of the articles are totally beyond me. I’m thinking of switching to a comp-sci specific journal. I’m mainly interested in compiler design and implementation of JIT compilers and VMs like JVM and .NET.

You might like to try conferences like PLDI (Programming Language Design & Implementation), OOPSLA (whatever that ridiculous acronym is for), and VEE (Virtual Execution Environments)

Edited to add: some overflow also happens into conferences like OSDI, ASPLOS, CGO, and other related OS/arch/compilers conference venues

Props on the nature subscription, I had a subscription with physical copies that were fun to thumb through to really get a scope on my lack of understanding of everything in the world.

Why acedemic journals? Each article are all bleeding edge experimentation and theory that only the authors a handful of people really understand.

O'Reilly has a great subscription option and their books are very comprehensive and easy to read.

I wouldn’t call it a scientific journal, but I always find something interesting to read in the Communications of the ACM.

Is it safe to assume you’ve search for those terms on Google Scholar to see which journals are publishing content relevant to you?

I could use Google but I’m looking for opinions not just what journals have that kind of content

I found Science magazine to be the best balance between pop & technical...

for the specific domain that you're interested-in, I suspect that a mixture of best-of-breed books & the actual live code of in-production projects, would be best?

While there used-to-be zillions of different magazines, that's .. kinda specific, and narrow, you know?
