Takeaway from a previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13938832 (36 points, 1 day ago, 28 comments)

About the benchmark:

> That the C code is compiled with "gcc -O7" tells me just about everything I need to know about the soundness of these experiments. [...]

About the alpha test:

* It's weird that they disable the alpha https://github.com/seraum/nectarjs/issues/1

* It failed to compile some code, like

  var hello = {foo: "Hello, world!"};
  console.log(hello["foo"]);

Compiler as a service. Are you hired by the NSA to inject sniffing code in every binary ever compiled?

I'm gonna be very surprised if this even gets funded.

The tech sounds great, but compiler-as-a-service? No way.

Looks cool
