The current default when running an escript is to interpret it using the
erl_eval
module. In the ancient times when escript was invented that made sense. Interpretation would be slower and some language constructs would not work, but execution could start immediately without waiting for the compiler to finish.Nowadays with faster computers it makes less sense.
Therefore, in Erlang/OTP 27, change the default to compile the escript. That will require the escript to be executed by an Erlang system that includes the Erlang compiler.
