I have a project which runs much faster (3 times) using the Icon compiler.
Admittedly, the compilation is a behemoth, swallowing 90 Megs of memory,
and taking more than an hour on a decent machine. Still...
this is a shame there is not enough resource left for developping the
compiler. It still does work, is reasonably reliable, and produce faster
code. Granted, it's missing separate compilation, and it would be nice
if the type analyzer could go all the way through and generate true
C integer/floating point arithmetic, but it is a nice program...
I'm currently integrating Icon to the set of ports available through
OpenBSD. Considering that OpenBSD runs on 12 architectures, this means
some work for checking that the coexpressions work. It will most certainly
be in for 2.4, available in december.
Once it's in, this means a very simple setup on a slew of machine.
I'll keep you posted...
