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"]);
