this is kinda off topic, -- but people here seem really smart, so I&#39;ll risk the occasional flames for good criticism + insight<br><br>i think the llvm/jvm projects are really cool, since so much work is put into jitting; and for one reason or another, I like llvm more than jvm<br>
<br>i&#39;m curious about the possiblity of a high performance scheme (and perhaps gambit in particular) running on llvm; where the &#39;initial implementation&#39; may not be all that fast ... but letting llvm jit it away<br>
<br>how does this sound? feasible for a scheme (but not gambit)? down the pipes planned for gambit? or totally stupid/crazy?<br><br>the &#39;main&#39; advantage of this approach is that I _assume_ that the llvm guys are pretty good at hacking up interpreters / jit&#39;s ... so why not benefit from their constant progress :-D<br>
