Ya I'm not sure from which hat "massive engine optimization" comes from? What's meant is likely using decorators as annotations (compile time optimizations hints): http://www.google.com/patents/US7013458 Or 'ambient decorators': https://github.com/jonathandturner/brainstorming/blob/master/README.md#c6-ambient-decorators There's 2 patterns (maybe more?): (a) Tagging a 'tree transformation' on a node. (b) Metadata at compile time on a node. The thing about (b) is it can easily live outside of the code (like in typescript where you have an optional header/declaration file) With (a), it seems more conservative to see how it gets used with classes before bolting on to functions (opinion: end result in java is not something to be proud of). _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
