Could you guys maybe post some comparisons at least between R or Octave and
gretl before going public? I mean, it's your choice and I don't want to
curtail your enthusiasm, but I think it would be interesting.
Well, I've played a little with those. Long story short: we shred Octave
to bits. Conversely, the R script you find on the Julia website is much,
much faster than ours, since it uses the "compiler" package, which gives R
JIT compilation.
If we could have a LLVM front-end for Hansl, it'd be fantastic.
Unfortunately, I believe we simply don't have the resources to undertake
that project.
