The Core Client team is committed to supporting and enhancing the ABL, which includes improving the performance of the language. The team has discussed the use of LLVM several times in the past and although we have not moved forward with a project which leverages this technology we are not opposed to integrating newer technologies into the product. However, each project needs to be evaluated against the other projects which PM identifies as a priority for a release. From time to time an example is posted to Community which highlights the performance other languages vs. the ABL. We will continue to review these situations and if we determine there is a real benefit to the ABL we will investigate optimizing the Language. We have investigated and are continuing to analyze our OOABL infrastructure, looking for optimizations we can make. When optimizations can be safely made, we implement these changes. The point of this thread is to identify that runtime performance is important and in that, there is agreement. Working with PM, this development effort must be prioritized with the team’s other development tasks.
