Hmmm c/c++ into actionscript.

Is this gold into lead or lead into gold?

In the case of codes with a lot of dynamic message dispatch (Objective
C), Firefox's new JITed trace trees actually offer the possibility of
faster than ahead-of-time compiled native code.   Not to mention that
LLVM (compiler toolchain of Alchemy) can do interprocedural analysis,
which mainline GCC does not yet do.  Native code speed in a browser
without plugins, well, that sounds pretty good to me.

It's not a source -> source transformation, it's a matter of what the
target object code is, i.e. bytecode instead of x86.

Phil - thanks for your timely suggestion that I should sell my Monsanto stock a year ago. Do you have any recommendations for what I should sell last week? -- Robert

Yes, sure, try finding a buyer for the whole pack of ideas built around modeling the future is a projection from of the past…  

 

Notice that the exact point I sold things was when I was disturbed by the unusually high rate of price increase being unsustainable.  I didn’t wait for a high rate of price decrease and project that into the future.     I was reading the curve with the expectation that the future would be different from the past (having spent decades watching and learning the signals of when and how)…   

 

The problem with projecting from the past is that the future is actually a diverging processes running into entirely new conditions, and not continuing processes with random perturbations repeating old conditions.   So the way to do real forecasting is not juicing up random variables for behaviors that won’t be repeated, but watching the divergences that display the new behaviors as they develop.
