1. Euphoria 2.5/3.0 IL ideas
A little while ago Robert Craig told us that he would split the new
version of the Euphoria-system (should be 3.0 instead of 2.5) in a
front-end and an IL-based back-end.
I have some ideas for the IL-system:
- perhaps someone could develop an IL-assembler, for low-level
programming.
- in the Euphoria-code, you could then (if an IL-assembler exists) embed
low-level IL-code, like this:
procedure SomeLowLevelProcedureThatNeedsToRunFastAsHell()
-- some code
il
-- here comes the low-level IL-code
end il
-- some code
end procedure
- if the IL-specs are publicly released (which would be great), other
developers could write programming languages that produce EuIL-code.
This way, applications and libraries made in different languages could
work together (like in .Net). You could then write a high-level
application in (the not-yet-existing language) ObjectOrientedEuphoria,
that uses a low-level library written in EuILAssembler or that uses
Win32Lib, written in Euphoria.
