Subject: native vs bytecode
Date: Wed, 6 Aug 2008 15:58:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <74a4f4670808061258q30513bbdl446240feab3fdc36@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

hi
As I try to acquire more knowledge about Ocaml I made a bit of an
unpleseant discovery today. I always was fascinated by the execution
performance of Ocaml. But now I've learned, that this is only true for
native binaries and I'm a little confused now:

- is it possible to dynamically load native libraries into a native program?

- is it possible to dynamically load bytecode libraries into a native program?

- is it possible to dynamically load native libraries into a bytecode program?

- is it possible to dynamically load bytecode libraries into a bytecode program?

- Are there any performance test that shows how bytecode programs
stack up agains dynamic languages like ruby, perl and python?

thanks
ben
