Re: Tcl bytecode

With TclDevKit ($$) you can save bytecodes to a file (and load them with tbcload). However, their purpose is to obfuscate code, and loading them is slower than parsing genuine Tcl source files :)
For open source, I find it most suitable that scripts are openly readable, and editable in case of problems.


But TDK does translation to _some_ bytecode which isn't the same bytecode which Tcl interpreter executes (if I understeand correctly TDK compiler idea, of course).

I mean to save Tcl bytecode as it's represented just after byte-compilation - when script is loaded into interpreter.
Why write external tools to do such a thing, when Tcl Core (interpreter) already (while script execution) has such a bytecode in memory?
