question and congrats from a new user

[mdipierro]

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?

- Are there benchmarks (not of its scalability, just its sequential
execution speed). In comparison to Python in particular.

- Does REIA have access to all Erlang libraries?

Thanks.

No, and there likely won't be until the language is more mature.

There's a very small (4 benchmark) suite you can run with "rake benchmark"

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
