Hm.... I'd consider JIT compilers pretty low-level. Do you guys really think we can integrate this low-level with a higher-level language easily? ...despite that it just sounds really big and memory consuming. I am only expressing some fears here. Would be glad to be proven wrong. cheers -- Torsten
