Would you believe me if I said combinations of both?
For now I want to do this:
0) interpret top-level, and compile functions and loops to unoptimized native for execution (probably default behavior)
Later, I'd like it to be able to:
1) tokenize everything and serialize the output.
2) interpret everything on-the-fly, using bytecode for loops, functions
3) compile the whole program to unoptimized native and serialize the output.
4) run serialized token streams, and serialized compiled scripts.
I'm aware that's a tall order. That's why I'm not scheduling all those for Walnut 2.0. They'll come with following minor versions.
Regards,
Dan
