"This new JIT infrastructure, will feature SSA compiler intermediate representations which will facilitate advanced optimizations such as type specialization, function inlining, linear-scan register allocation, dead-code elimination, and loop-invariant code motion"
Ok.

your decision to post this in the void suggests you are less than 100% confident that this is a worthy thread topic

It's "corporate speak", nothing more.

If you've ever been in a meeting with company higher-ups, you get this shit all the time during presentations.

It's a running joke that absolutely nobody believes in yet everyone uses to convince people who absolutely don't believe you. This is why corporations are never to be listened to about anything, let alone believed.

I kid you not: I saw an executive at an auto show call trunk bungie cords "synergistic tie-down solutions". :rolleyes:

No, they're all compiler design terms. I read Eraser's quote and thought "this is either about LLVM or a tracing JIT". I feel woefully nerdy now. :/

Yeah sure. But who would be surprised if that exact same text showed up in a press release?

You secretly watch gunporn vids like this don't you... be sure to give a shout when your inner gwamps can be contained no longer and you get a sudden urge to paint stuff bile green and stock up on shotguns, so the rest of us can seek cover.

how much more can he pimp that shotty? underslung grenade launcher? sniper scope (on a shotgun :olo: )? barrel-mounted 3D video feed so he shoot around corners while stuffing more key lime pie into his massive hillbillygoblin maw?

Actually shotguns are not like they are in games...where they're only good at short range and spread out like a flower. In reality, think of a shotgun as launching a brick...a brick that can take down targets at 100 metres. A hunter shooting a deer might need a scope, but we all know gramps doesn't hunt....so it's only "tac-out" bs.
