Hi Vijay, On X86 32- or 64-bit, the vast majority of desktops and laptops, the compiler produces native machine code. There is a version that compiles to byte code for other architectures.

Hi,

I am new to PolyML and this question is a basic one. Is a file loaded by the top-level `use` function compiled to machine code or is it compiled to the instructions of a VM?

Thanks,

Vijay
