Could scala native be used to compile scalac in the future (if enough of java.* has a clean room implementation)? And could that speed up compile time of scala programs, or is compilation bottlenecked by IO (or other things) which may not be enhanced by scala native?
- densh 9y ago1. Probably, but we're not quite there yet. Some required APIs are still missing. 2. We'll find out soon enough.
- keth 9y agoThanks for the answer. I'm looking forward to it. Now I wish scala.js would also be able to compile the compiler. Would be a nice benchmark for the language runtimes since the compiler is a non trivial program.
