Wow, speaking of really needing great test coverage -- at the same time, this is probably a great way to get devs to write tests; if they do write them, they'll get much more optimized code.

and if they don't write them down, the compiled program might not work!

Direct link to PDF: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1605.07969v2.pdf

It's best to link to the abstract http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07969 which will display versions of the paper as it's updated.

I can see where you're coming from.

My preference is to just read the article. Given the decay rate of Hacker News submissions, it is probably rare for an academic article to see an update during the time it is receiving attention.

Anyway, the original submission has the abstract.

In that particular case:

   (Submitted on 25 May 2016 (v1), 
   last revised 26 May 2016   (this version, v2))

so they change it quite fast!

but some use the archives

Will neural compilation ever exceed the classical method?
