Hi Krasimir,
to produce code with reasonable performance. The major problem with YHC is that it still doesn't have strictness analyzer.
It does, or rather Yhc.Core does (see Yhc.Core.Strictness - http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/yhc/snapshot/docs/Yhc-Core-Strictness.html). This was only done a few weeks ago, so the .NET translator has no benefit from it.
And strictness is not the biggest problem, a complete lack of any optimisations is, but I'm working on that one too!
It is great to hear that. Of course an optimiser will be beneficial too but I guess that even the benefit that the code generator can have from the strictness analyzer will make huge difference. Cheers, Krasimir
