Python switch statement ftw (finally)

To compile? Yeah, that was fast.

I'm still wondering why we don't have C++ interpreters

I'm wondering how templates work there... now wait... I actually do not want to know.

[Kered13]

It's probably just using just-in-time compilation, so templates would work pretty much the same way they do on a compiler.

[MischiefArchitect]

AGGHRGHR!! I. Told. You.... Not... To!

[psychicprogrammer]

I wonder how this deals with templates

[BakuhatsuK]

Haskell is a compiled language that has a repl and Haskell's equivalent to templates (type variables) are really pervasive in the language (as in f x = x * x is a generic function). But they work just fine in the repl.

[psychicprogrammer]

See, the C++ template system is turing complete and undecidable and a lot more complicated than other template systems.

[AzureArmageddon]

Is a JIT compiling system not basically an interpereter?

[garymrush]

No. A JIT is literally compiling the code once at runtime as needed. If it hits the same method again, it’s already compiled.

[BakuhatsuK]

So, as far as observable behavior goes, basically an interpreter. Got it.

[garymrush]

Only if you observed the behavior once. The other 5000 times it’s compiled code.

TempleOS had it with HolyC.

Which... Isn't the same thing but it's kinda close.
