Perhaps LLVM, perhaps the GO back end, but we have to start somewhere. But the LLVM infrastructure isn't type-preserving. Anybody who looks at my CV and thinks that I'm going to leave a fundamental confidence-maintenance technique on the table over the long term - and a 10% perf hit along with it - doesn't know me. But he's also right: one step at a time. shap
