That's great, Charles.
What about the memory aspect of the compiler? I know that it is still early in
the construction, but can you give some idea as to whether a compiled JRuby
app will be heavier or lighter than a regular interpreted JRuby app?

Subject: [jruby-dev] The Compiler Is Complete
I just finished up compilation on BEGIN and END blocks, which brings the
compiler to completion. I've also successfully been able to compile the
entire standard library and run IRB and RubyGems entirely off compiled
scripts (i.e. I deleted all the .rb files).
OptN doesn't compile and never will; we will just wrap script execution
with the appropriate logic. I'll monkey with that later; nobody uses -n
that I know of.
RubyGems seemed to start up quite a bit slower than with the
interpreter, so I'll do some investigation on that. And there's scads of
optimizations left to do in the compiler and in the load sequence. But
any work after this will be bug fixing and optimization.
The Compiler Is Complete.
(and I have first dibs on blogging it)
