Speed
The actual speed of the Euphoria interpreter seems heavily dependent on the
type of code used. The boasts do seemed to be based on the efficient data
structure (do not hold me to this one) and clever built in functions. When
conventional structures are used speed gains over languages such as QBasic
become much less significant (again, do not hold me to this one). I was
wondering if anybody has done any comparisons between Eu and JIT-compiled
Java, because the 7x speed gain may be annulled by this new development.
Rob, have you ever considered going the next stage after tokenising and byte-
coding and JIT-compiling things such as for loops, so that loops with a large
number of repetitions can go a lot faster? I have no idea what it would be
like to hack, is it a realistic possibility ? It might go down better than
encryption, which by the way could be done by distributing the bound .ex
randomly inside ex.exe - if you can hack that.
