No big deal--just computer science. People have been acting like there is something magical about all this, which is just dumb. Graph coloring algorithms for allocating registers work basically the same regardless of the language for which said registers are to be allocated. Etc etc etc. Put enough effort into writing a quality compiler, and you get quality results. And, best of all, you then get to write in Ada instead of some godawful abortion like C. -- ***** DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed herein are my own. Duh.
