LODA uses an interpreter at the moment. The problem with a compiler framework is: during mining, you need to generate LOTS of programs and evaluate them quickly. Compilation just takes too long for mining.

We don't want to parse descriptions or formulas from OEIS. The goal is to do mining just based on the numbers. It is easy to translate a formula into a program. But that's not the goal. The goal is to find NEW or BETTER formulas / algorithms.
