I don't think it has much to do with human-readability; but rather with:
- automatically finding and applying optimizations
- with a general approach, rather than a big database of hard-coded optimizations.
I'm not sure how (or how well) it all works, though... but it's the sort of thing I find interesting, so here's hoping for some free time sooner or later. ;)
- gte910h 16y agoIf it's "yet another thing I run after I am done writing code" that's just a optimizer IMO, not a different sort of thing. If it actually changes the code I have written, and then leaves it in that state for some reason 1> I want to know about that and 2> I want to know about if the trade offs of using it are worth it for the payments we make via reduced readability and malleability.
- crux_ 16y agoIt's a component for your compiler, not something that would likely exist in a standalone form except for demonstration & research. (For the purposes of above comment, JIT interpreters absolutely count as compilers.) And yes, it's 'just' an optimizer. It so happens to be a fairly interesting approach.
