That may run fast but does the byte code compiler produce good code?
I get get the impression that you often have 1 pass compilers
like Pascal or Tiny C that produce byte code style source
at the expense of better code.
It's genetic/cellular automata style computation. It cycles through various
logic configurations until it finds the optimal setup. The bad news is that
it means that the "compile" cycles could take a while. The good news is once
an optimal algorithm is found, it's saved for later. This scheme should
theoretically work well for compute-intensive operations, especially those
requiring lots of variables, such as DSP and fluid dynamics.
