    Collapsing Towers of Interpreters: This is the holy grail of compiler optimization tech, which no compiler or interpreter quite manages to achieve. http://lampwww.epfl.ch/~amin/pub/collapsing-towers.pdf …

        The coroutine issue is complicated. I believe we need an asynchronous execution model that uses effects typing to ensure effects are issued in an observably correct order. I think it’s best to build that on futures rather than coroutines.

        However, we also need an approach for iterating over collections of values produced by arbitrary sources where production and consumption are separated modularity. I believe first-class failure and backtracking rather than coroutines are the right answer.

        I expect scalable transactions will come with significant overhead. However, if that cost buys us the ability to scale to 64+ cores without sacrificing a traditional, easy-to-use programming model, it will be worth it.

        I envision a future where all mutable data is managed by something like Haskell IORef: pointers managed by a garbage collector which can be read and written concurrently using a transactional memory framework, but which don't support pointer arithmetic or other unsafe ops.

        ILM's Zeno4/Virtual Studio prototype used transactional pointers (a library we wrote) to enable concurrent and consistent reads and writes across processes. It was amazing to code against, many lessons learned. it's unfortunate we didn't publish.

        Looks interesting and elegant. At the opposite extreme, you have super-optimization -- try every possible combination of machine code until you get the fastest compilation: https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=36194 …

        I'd settle for an interpreter able to perceive my intent.

        Thanks, that's exactly what I needed, I want to make a compiled language with the freedom of LISP. Now I need one year of study to understand this paper. :)
