Interesting. The last time I used C++, it was so painful to compile. I love Clojure, though, and a native target is appealing. I wonder how slow the compile/ recompile cycle is in Jank.
- Jeaye 10mo agoJIT compiling C++ is definitely the slowest thing we do. However, we're working on two different codegen modes. 1. C++ 2. LLVM IR The IR is much faster to compile, but its perf isn't nearly as good. This is meant to be a nice trade off, during iteration, so that you can use C++ codegen for your release artifact, but stick with IR when you're REPLing. The IR gen is still unstable right now, for the alpha, but we'll have both solidified this year.
