* Port boinkmarks to ECL or create some other way to test performance of ECL/git and produce nice records of that.<div><br></div><div>* Profile and optimize ECL' C library. Key places include for instance the interpreter, CLOS dispatch routines, uses of ecl_process_env(), etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Work on the FFI creating optimizers for compiled code. This basically amounts to creating compiler macros that, in case of large optimization settings, expand FFI forms into optimized C-INLINE forms. This would dramatically improve access to foreign data when the types are specified.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Work on a better API for synchronization of multithreaded programs. The Boehm-Weiser garbage collector already provides a nice library for atomic operations which could be used to implement compare-and-swap or other cheak locking mechanisms.</div>
<div><br></div><div>* Finish the MOP.</div><div><br></div><div>* Optimize our implementation of CLOS. This includes things like rethinking the way we optimize access to object slots, writing specialized dispatch functions for methods that depend only one argument, etc.</div>
