Zef's AST-walking interpreter posts a 16.6× speed-up. The gains come from surgical changes:64-bit tagged values,AST node & RMW specialization,symbol hash-consing,inline caches, and a shapedobject model. Developers built it onFil-C++and later ported it toYolo-C++. The Yolo build adds ~4x speed, at th.. read more
