The manual > sorta said, but it mostly seemed to be identical to the Yerk manual. The difference is mostly under the hood: Yerk compiles tokens which are then interpreted at runtime (indirect threading). Mops compiles subroutine calls to primitives (JSR threading,) and augments this by being able to compile machine code inline when directed to do so and JSRs for longer ones. It also does a good bit of optimization The result is that Mops is much faster than Yerk, but Yerk can make it much easier to decompile and debug most routines. /nt
