Java without ceremony (I don't know, code casual?) But last time I tried it, there was massive compile time overhead (30 seconds for hello world, on a eee PC).

Java without ceremony (I don't know, code casual?)
But last time I tried it, there was massive compile time overhead (30 seconds for hello world, on a eee PC). Has that changed? I'm possibly getting it confused with a bunch of JVM languages that I tried out at the same time.
- headius 16y agoThe compile times have definitely improved, but there's more to be done. At least now you can compile multiple files at once, which saves a lot of hassle :)
- tomjen3 16y agoThats often the case with new languages. I remember it took longer than that to compiler Hello World in Scala, but today that is pretty fast.
- headius 16y agoWe've slowly moved more and more of Mirah into Mirah code as well, which will help performance over time. Currently almost all of Mirah is written in (J)Ruby, with according startup and performance overhead. Great for prototyping, and great for extending (we will probably always allow defining language features in Ruby) but not great for quick startup and fast execution.
