What if ocamlopt would be dropped for a faster ocaml vm?
Why? Even if the Ocaml was able to target a faster VM, there
are still many people who would chose to generate native
binaries.
I'd call that a questionable decision. As far as I know, using native
binaries means to open a whole range of potentially uncorrectionable
problems with abi incomptabilities between libraries or with changes
of the underlying os.
As far as I know when you go native you always have to take abi
incompatibility and therefore recompilation into account. For business
apps, that's a showstopper.
Aren't most Windows applications binary ones?
Not all Windows apps are .Net based, or run on a whatever vm.
Most others are binary, aren't they?
If yes it seems this has not been a big showstopper to Windows apps
developpers...
Maybe I don't get the precise sense of "binary".
