Re: [q-lang-users] Pure

[Albert G. <Dr....@t-...>]

Hi friends,

well, it was quite a bit more work than I expected, but it finally
works! :) And I already have the Pure->C interface, exceptions
(catch/throw) and a considerable part of the system module working
(basic I/O, printf/scanf, glob, regex). Nicely enough, I can write most
of the wrappers in Pure now.

BTW, the present version is some 30-40 times faster than Q on naive fib,
IIRC. I was hoping for more, but it's already 7 times faster than Python
2.4 on the recursive benchmark from the shootout, and it certainly makes
Hugs look very bad; MZ Scheme is still a bit faster, though. So I guess
it's fast enough -- and there's no doubt that the generated code can
still be improved. ;-)

Still working on a few examples, too tired to do a prerelease tonight.
Maybe tomorrow. For the time being, get LLVM 2.2 up and running on your
machines, you'll need it. ;-)

Cheers,
Albert
