Re[2]: RTL/tree (from gcc) and Scheme


Hello Per,

The very same approach has Bigloo:
http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Bigloo/
but Bigloo has problem with compilation in run-time, i.e. it has
preliminary compilation before run and no ability to compile function
in a run-time up to native code.

Has kawa the same problem?

opss...

why?..

any hopes for a future?

P.S. sorry if this message appears twice (spam filter collision)
