Hi all,
I have been comparing manually built identical phrases (a dyadic verb
with its arguments) and executing it with ". or `:6. My understanding
was that the advantage of atomic representation was that it bypassed
parsing and that the execution model was:
input string -> parsing -> atomic representation -> interpretation -> result
However, I was surprised to see no speedup at all when transitioning
from string to atomic representation. Of course, my particular code may
be the issue. What are the usual strengths and weaknesses of string vs.
atomic representation?
Thanks!
Raoul
