pjmlp:
Now we have Julia already achieving C like speeds in some areas, although the implementation is still quite young.
Julia compiles using LLVM, that is mature. But I think Julia uses light optimization parameters (I don't know if the optimization level can be changed).
So until a big company does something into this direction, people will keep ignoring what has been achieved so far in the academia.
Lot of programmers ignore what academia does, this is a big problem.
