"So much so that you might as well emit machine code instead."
Exactly, thank you!!! So why the hell would you screw around with bytecode!?!?!
I don't want portability, my source code is portability! I want the fastest possible machine code translation for the smallest possible program!!! That "portability" thing with bytecode makes me absolutely livid!!!
- avmich 7y agoRemember, neither translation to machine code is guaranteed to be faster than translation to a VM bytecode, nor execution of such a code is guaranteed to be faster than execution of bytecode.
- Annatar 7y agoThe machine code has to be faster because the intermediate to machine code step, which impacts performance at least once is eliminated.
