Why are there not much viewers on this?

Hiphip is not just a code transformer / translator.

It is a broader concept where we can write code

in a simple language and get amazingly optimized

exectuables. It is not an interpreter like Java or a

pseudo interpreter like C#, it is optimized and

simple. This is the future of approaching the solution

to the parallel problem , IMHO.
