[erlang-questions] list comprehensions speed

[Thomas Lindgren]

As a related point, I wouldn't mind if, say, Hipe or that forthcoming BEAM/JIT compiler generated code similar to C for these sorts of functions. (It would at least be quite interesting if someone investigated codegen for tight-ish loops further. MSc thesis, anyone?) 

Basically, less code in C please ...

Best,
Thomas
