I don't recall if 2.3.6 was compiled with --enable-jit.
iirc 2.3.6 was compiled with --enable-jit and I think you're saying
that will still work with 3.0
Also, you have to wrap the main body in a class or an
Eval [
...
]
block instead of just having the bang-separated
... !
This is listed in the NEWS file (and the announcement) as:
"Evaluated code now puts undeclared variables in a private namespace
(so
that you do not have to declare temporaries) and defers the
resolution
of undefined variable bindings until the time of their first access.
Unfortunately, this slows down evaluated code noticeably; you can get
back the performance by putting code in a method or an Eval (in the
latter case, you will have to declare temporaries explicitly, or the
code will still use the slower deferred variable binding)."
