Le Samedi, 21 f�v 2004, � 17:13 Europe/Zurich, Christopher Oliver a �crit :My opinion: probably not. However, I just thought of another drawback with using Joeq's interpreter, namely you wouldn't be able to debug it with a standard Java debugger. The Brakes-like approach doesn't have this limitation. In addition, since that approach simply modifies the bytecode it would still be optimized by Hotspot and would still outperform any scripting language. Torsten, what's the status of your work on this?
...I did some informal tests and it appears to actually be slower than interpreted Rhino (not sure exactly why, perhaps because Rhino bytecodes are higher level), but was significantly faster than BeanShell (which is a Java source code interpreter).
Is it a lot slower, do you think it would make a significant difference?
