Agree.
Do you know if this can generate native code without any JVM dependencies? For instance, could I implement a C compiler that outputs optimized native code just like gcc or clang?
At any rate, it sounds like this research could be used to produce the tools we want, even if this is not it. For instance, PHP could use a JIT, if it didn't cause slow warm-ups and blow up memory usage.

- mtdewcmu 10y agoHow applicable do you think it would be to PHP?
- chrisseaton 10y agoI don't think there are any language features in PHP that we haven't already tackled for Ruby, JS or Python.
