This is a really interesting approach. Do you think it will be possible in future to get it performance approaching something like ruby (or even javascript)? It seems like it would be impossible because of the extra work the system has to do. Then again it might not matter in the same way that the usability of Ruby outweighed its performance issues. The usability of Glitch for concurrent applications could easily outweigh it also.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoI think we might eventually be able to go beyond dynamic language performance in two ways: 1. memoization can save doing a lot of work when a change is processed. 2. We can optimize task replay as long as it's basic form stays the same, even if the values that run through the task over time change. We'll see how this works out.
