There is also a version that compiles to C. Although it runs very fast, 
to the point where it gets in your face, it eliminates the JIT and does 
not support incremental compilation (or any late binding features). If 
you try to use a type combination it has not seen yet, it yells at you 
in ALL CAPS. And you can only have fixed-size arrays and lists; if you 
attempt dynamic allocation it will start demanding to see your Storage 
Manager. You can find it on Git... it's called "Karen".
