- Performance: for a compiler, having access to static types makes
compiling and performance optimisation a lot easier. This is my
current project (R compilation to heterogeneous targets) and I find
that type inference over R code is a hard (and interesting) subject.
Thierry you see what I would love to have is a R to Pharo :)
You have I think a lot of the pieces already... SciSmalltalk and
Roassal. But I wouldn't bet the R interpreter isn't faster than Pharo on
some stats and numerical code: linking with BLAS and the mkl can do
wonders...
Now, what I'm working for is transparent heterogeneous GPU/Xeon Phi
accelerated compute. I think the approach could be used for Pharo as
well, but Eliot would be unhappy ;)
