Re: Embedding Pike into C/C++ game

It would be nice to have machine- and Pike-version independent byte-code (at least, backwards compatible) - so "binaries" can be used and swapped freely.

The only stage that would be practical would probably be some sort of tokenized state...

Is there any specific reason why compiler shouldn't be used? It will make code execution slower, I guess...
