The mod and the write barrier will significantly degrade performance vs C.
Probably faster to replace mod with if-based wrap around but there's
nothing you can do about the write barrier.
Cheers,
Jon.

Wouldn't it be preferable for students to use OCaml in a browser? I'm just
teaching a bunch of people F# and I've recommended tryfsharp.org to them for
that reason. Perhaps it would be better to build something comparable in the
OCaml world, rather than starting down the arduous route of an

The assembly backends of ocamlopt (and GHC... there is no support at all on

Most projects are either academic research or industrial products. In
academia, reinventing a common language run-time won't get funding because
it is not novel enough. In industry, products that aren't economically

If the language you are interpreting is quite declarative then piggy-backing
on OCaml's run-time either by writing an interpreter or by compiling to
OCaml code will be a big advantage. Writing a VM with a run-time as
efficient as OCaml's in this context is a *lot* of work compared to writing

Yes. That shows that it can be done but not that it is worth doing. What
