Description

Precompiled assemblies on Windows

Use ngen.exe to create native images of Kiezellisp and its dependencies.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe install kiezellisp-gui.exe
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen.exe install kiezellisp-con.exe

Precompiled assemblies on Mono/Linux

Use --aot to create native images of Kiezellisp and its dependencies.

mono --aot kiezellisp-gui.exe
mono --aot kiezellisp-con.exe
mono --aot kiezellisp-lib.dll

Light Lambda

Kiezellisp no longer uses the LightCompile and LightDynamic features of the DLR.

These features favor interpretation over compilation until a certain usage threshold has been reached. In some cases the interpretion gave the wrong results.

Instead Kiezellisp uses a lazy compile mechanism, that postpones Linq compilation until a lambda is called for the first time.

Debug vs release code

The Kiezellisp compiler inserts code to improve your debugging experience. This depends on the debug level (which is typically 0 during init and 2 in the REPL).
