Good evening everyone,
First, and I hope my english will be readable and I apologize if it's not.
I have few questions about Neko, NekoJIT, mod_tora and NekoML :
1. I have read Neko with mod_tora and Apache can be significantly faster
than PHP
(and so, faster than many other languages used for server-side Web
programming).
Is the JIT having an important part in this speed ? I think the JIT is
only for 32bits, isn't it ?
Are there plans to write a JIT for x86_64 arch ?
2. Does someone know if there is a performance gap between Neko 32b, JIT
enabled, and Neko 64 ?
Are there some other differences between these versions, especially
about their memory footprint ?I know that I can
test it myself writing some benchmarks but my programming level is low
and I think I won't write significant pieces of test suite.
4. Curently, I mainly use Python. It's a powerfull language, especially
cause I can use it for many things, like with Perl etc. Is it possible,
thanks to compilation speed, to use HaXe with Neko target as an admin
server language ? I mean, to automate admin tasks, server-side scripts,
as a "super shell" ?
Maybe it's possible to use directly the Neko language for it (even I
know the Neko language is for programs) ?
5. Last but not least : NekoML. Is this language targetting by humans or
other computer languages ? Is it currently used by some of you (I've
seen temploc is a software written with it) ? Is there documentation
about it, except the official website page ?
Thank you for your answers, I hope you'll have a nice day.
