I see where the compiler would be problematic, but how about this scenario:
I'm using midgard to develop a couple of database applications, one to document the
IS department I run, another to handle a product database for our bookstore. The
product database relies on midgard for it's interface only, calling out to another
database in MySQL for the data. The documentation project uses content trees from
midgard extensively, as well as an external database to track pc's and other harware.
What I'm thinking about is not so much pre-compiling pages, but pre-compiling the
functions that call to the external databases. The midgard pages can be dynamic, but
the things that aren't designed to be malleable can be compiled once they reach a
final revision. Of course, it would be better to write the functions in C if they
really need to be that fast, but I don't know C. Sigh. I went to music school and
my brother was a CS major. Now we're both System Admins, and I have to learn as I
go. The creative process that you follow in music is similar to programming, but
anyway, the compiler might not be totally useless to midgard users, especially if
they are using midgard in tandem with external databases.
Have a good one.
