[Icfp04-discuss] Ant optimizers?

[Michael Levin]

A state optimizer is also important for compiling and's and or's
of conditional expressions efficiently. 

My ant compiler used a simple compilation technique
"destination-driven code generation" that outputs optimized code
on the first pass; so there is no need for subsequent
optimization stages:
