Takeaway from a previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13938832 (36 points, 1 day ago, 28 comments) About the benchmark: > That the C code is compiled with "gcc -O7" tells me just about everything I need to know about the soundness of these experiments. [...] About the alpha test: * It's weird that they disable the alpha https://github.com/seraum/nectarjs/issues/1 * It failed to compile some code, like var hello = {foo: "Hello, world!"}; console.log(hello["foo"]);

More importantly, that source-code isn't the compiler - it just makes calls to the server that runs the compiler: https://github.com/seraum/nectarjs/blob/master/nectar.js#L52.... We don't even get to see how the compiler works, much less use it to debug when things go wrong.

Everything looks like a scam, see that one, for example, https://github.com/seraum/nectarjs/issues/1 ... and it's getting worse if you dive deep in the source code...
