It is absolutely gorgeous, but it is also looking a lot more like a traditional text editor from what i can gather. I'll download and play with it a bit anyway, to see what i get from it.

I did a quick check of the implementation, am I wrong in thinking every primitive type is boxed ? If it is the case, i expect the performance to be pretty abysmal. Do you have some data on that ?

Just one point : > C++ doesn't have this [Tools for writing IDEs quickly] Well indeed it does, libclang does exactly that, and quite well. As a result, you have plugins for Vim, Sublime Text and others providing autocompletion and in ed

I'm not :) I'm just providing some context. This project has more fundamental issues in my opinion if you want to consider it as a real replacement for ocamlopt, as i explained here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4798320 . It is not,

Ok brace yourself, this is gonna be a long answer :) Go down for the TLDR if you don't want to read everything. It really depends on your approach. This project isn't well suited for performance, because it treats OCaml's bytecode , which

by Raphael_Amiard 14y ago
Well the use of C++ instead of OCaml allowed us a certain number of things : - Most notably reading OCaml's header files, and hence using the correct, macro declared data types in LLVM code generation. This could have been done with an hybr

I wasn't aware of that. The Z3 name was imposed as part of the university project this started with. It was supposed to be part of the VMKit suite of compilers, J3 being the Java bytecode compiler and N3 being the .Net compiler. I'd be happ

Thank you Google, for making the Nexus 7 16gb 199$ 1 week after i bought mine .. I love this tablet, but the one thing i really wish is i had the 16gb version, but couldn't afford it at the time.

I think Simon Peyton Jones says it best about Haskell : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSmkqocn0oQ He says Haskell is useless. Without even debating that (it can certainly be useful for certain classes of programming problems), you can se
