Good job Bryce. I know that it's just too soon to say but do you have any glimpse of the stability of an image running wit exupery? There is any version that could be stable enough to try it in production or it is too soon?
Ask me closer to to the release.
At the moment it can only compile in the background for a few minutes then it runs into trouble. Just DNU's that can be fixed by initializing Exupery.
Are you interested in running it in production soon? I've not yet decided how quickly to push for stability vs. other things. Closer to the release it'll be easier to decide but interest does matter too.
My goal for the next release is only to be able to run the background compiler for an hour without crashing. I don't know how reliable that will be in a production environment.
But it depends on what the constraints of the production environment are. You can always restrict what Exupery will compile rather than letting it compile everything. By restricting what it will be able to compile you could use it now.
Compilation can be slow. There's a few performance bugs in the register allocator that I mean to fix after the release. Compilation can always be done in a low priority background thread so that might not matter.
