Hi Kevin,
Great work! I wonder if (in an undetermined future) the following
scenario could stand to optimize calls to native libraries, like numpy:
- compile numpy into LLVM bytecode
- when meeting a function with a bunch of numpy call, instead of using
the CAPI, directly call functions from the numpy bytecode and optimize
evertyhing as a whole?
Keep up the good work!
