I want a cross-platform > FFI, so I'm not excited enough to include NB in my port. Just let me remind you that (x86 specificity) is completely on image side. The VM side changes are minimal and 100% not platform specific. Making NB image-side implementation platform-unspecific is another story.. but as i said before i see no reason to do it unless there's a version of Cog which runs on some other platform :) There is plans and some work started on getting there, by making a platform-neutral low-level DSL, which can be used for generating native code. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko.
