Idiot Compiler update:

As of November First, the first version of the beta compiler is operational and some minor tests have been conducted on its speed.   The standards for processing data are completely set and most operations are done in 16bit integer math, however every variable is 24bit allowing for numbers upto values of 16 million.  There currently is zero support for decimal numbers currently, however plans are in the works for functions involving 16 bit numbers (upto 65,000) with 1/100 capability with the 3rd bit value.

We have done simple tests against Hayden, Einstein, TASC and Beagle Compilers and Idiot Compiler can execute code faster than any of them.  This is due to the NO-RUNTIME nature of the code eliminating most JSR instructions for internal setup and applications.  At first glance, one would assume that this would expand executable code, but this is not the case because every function in other compilers require setup variables and JSR's to runtimes, eliminating this almost equals the amount of code required inside of each AppleSoft Basic equivelent line...   Another great thing is that Idiot Compiler code is so compact that a completed program can exist in as little as 100 bytes, and is totally readable and understandable by simple disasembly.
