What's your point? You really want to recompile code twice just to run it?

- jerf 10y agoPresumably that instead of writing a language that targets a slow language and pays a multiplicative slowdown on top of that, you could write something that targets a relatively fast language that Python is able to run in also, and pay the multiplicative price against that instead. Go is not the fastest language and I expect it to have roughly a 2x slowdown over C indefinitely, but that still puts it in the "compiled language" camp rather than the "interpreted language" camp, which tends to run 10x-40x slowdown.
- chrishacken 10y agoI may have misinterpreted your comment, but I think that was my point. He could have built Lambdascript directly on top of Go or some other marginally fast language instead of building on Python.
- BuckRogers 10y agoAlmost everything is recompiled at least twice just to run it. Your comment is pretty ridiculous unless you had another point than the one I'm getting. What do you think executes on your CPU when you run CPython.
