About the benchmark:

> That the C code is compiled with "gcc -O7" tells me just about everything I need to know about the soundness of these experiments. [...]

About the alpha test:

* It's weird that they disable the alpha https://github.com/seraum/nectarjs/issues/1

* It failed to compile some code, like

  var hello = {foo: "Hello, world!"};
  console.log(hello["foo"]);

Hi,

as explained with another dev, "gcc -O7" its because I previously been trolled with "gcc -O3" vs others optimizations, so, as -O7 == -O3, I don't care

There is no alpha yet, but there was a closed tests session with a few people. It's explained on the KS campaign

As explained, we are finishing objects and ES5 standard, so your code doesn't compile, but this one does :

var hello = {foo: "Hello, world!"}; console.log(hello.foo);

If NetcarJS was finished, we wouldn't have to launch a KS campaign
