On the Cleverness of Compilers
Personally, the way I want to write that program involves destructuring. All the cons, car and cdr crap makes my eyes glaze over almost as bad as the js.<p>More on topic, it seems like at least in the example given, inlining of functions followed by standard optimization would give good results, and I thought we were pretty decent at inlining. Is that just because the example is so simple, and the point is that that ability needs to be more general?
