- middle speed: bytecode, such as Lingo produces. Director reads your text source code and converts it into 32-bit tokens, which is then read by the run-time engine on PC or Mac (sometimes called a "virtual machine"). Variables, operators, functions--they all get converted to this 32-bit token. A good middle ground where cross-platform development is more important than speed.
Reading this I just wondered: what about .net and languages like C#? I was under the impression they use an intermediate layer as well.
Valentin, any chance you could try the same benchmark there?
