Replac[ing] flisp about juliasyntax.jl HOT 1 CLOSED

Do you have such a sysimage

Yes. But you need to build one for yourself if you want to use it. See the README for how to do this:

https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaSyntax.jl#using-juliasyntax-as-the-default-parser

flisp is just (still) sitting there, just unused

Yes that's partly correct - it's unused for parsing, but still used for lowering. So it can't be removed yet. I'm fairly sure that the flisp runtime is extremely light and removing it will mainly help with removing some code complexity and reducing the size of libjulia a little.

I'm a bit confused by your 4 sec. parse time claim in your video,

If it's the part I think you're referring to, this was for parsing all the files in Base. This was only for the purposes of benchmarking and demonstration, it's not latency the user normally experiences. In normal use that parsing only happens as part of building the sysimage.

Anyway, so we can't remove the flisp runtime from libjulia in the foreseeable future (rewriting lowering is a big job!) so I'll close this for now. Feel free to ask further questions, though!
