Yes, of course I'm not interested in bounties. But note that
that issue is not really a "bug", it's a project.
I put hundreds of hours of work into this, to get to the point
where we are now - fixing the compiler structure to the point
where a JIT is possible. That work was funded by an insolvency
payout :). Daniel Murphy has done some work on it, as well.
I doubt bounties are effective as a motivation for this kind of
thing.
Is there any chance you could offer a brief summary of the state
of things w.r.t. this issue?
I.e. expanding on this comment: "Upgrading severity. I've done
several commits to move towards a solution but I still need to do
more restructuring to properly fix this."
Perhaps the bounty won't stimulate anybody who doesn't have other
motivations to improve the situation, but more information about
the scope of the issue would be helpful to both backers and
potential claimants.
