Compiling to bytecode files

[Tal Liron]

Could you possibly point me to where in the code this cache is implemented?

And would you be willing to accept patches that allow for alternate
implementations of the cache? For example, an implementation that
tries to load from disk before using the in-memory cache.

Another smaller other issue is that, as a first release, the runtime has been quite fluid and caching would require versioning to make sure the cache is valid.

In Rhino, I can create class bytecode for me that I can store in files and then simply load the next time the code needs to be accessed. Specifically, Rhino has a interface named org.mozilla.javascript.GeneratedClassLoader that lets me reload the bytes.
