Congratulations for REIA. I am truly impressed.
I have some questions and I was hoping you could give advice:
- I know how to compile myself but if I need to give a demo that's
complicated. Are there Windows and Mac binaries somewhere?
No, and there likely won't be until the language is more mature.
- Are there benchmarks (not of its scalability, just its sequential
execution speed). In comparison to Python in particular.
There's a very small (4 benchmark) suite you can run with "rake benchmark"
- Does REIA have access to all Erlang libraries?
Yes, Reia provides an interfacing syntax to call into Erlang:
erl.module.function(arg1, arg2, ...)
You can also do:
erl.function(...)
to call functions in the "erlang" module
