It's<br>essentially a re-implementation of the karajan language. <br><br>The gist of it is that it is now a semi-compiled language. What I mean<br>by that is that there is no code generation, so the initial parse tree<br>is converted into a compiled tree. Variable and function references are<br>resolved at compile-time. This provides considerable improvements in<br>performance from two fronts:<br><br>1. The interpreter was changed from an event-based system (a system that<br>made sense many years ago, but has little relevance for swift) to a<br>lightweight threading implementation based on exceptions.<br>2. The compiler can make optimizations that weren't possible with a<br>dynamic language. For example, once the swift and logging settings are<br>known, code that conditionally executes based on a swift property or<br>logging statements can be optimized away and have no run-time overhead.<br><br>There is also a benefit in memory consumed. Variables are now stored in<br>arrays rather than hashtables. This should reduce the run-time overhead<br>of the engine.<br><br>There are a few more relevant changes from swift's perspective:<br>- there is no more karajan xml. Keeping two inter-operable syntaxes was<br>a pain in the back. <br>- sites.xml is now parsed with a DOM parser<br>- all the coaster code has been moved into provider-coaster. Karajan is<br>now independent of that (and the other way around).<br><br>Most of the tests pass, but that means little. So if you can give it a<br>shot, please do.
