SKILL compiler?

ThePhoenix

Hello, I'm looking for a good compiler (to compile the SKILL code before I enter it into Cadence) that enables Compiling and Running of
SKILL code. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance.

    There is no need for a compiler (perhaps you can explain why you think you need one?).

    SKILL is byte-code compiled automatically; you can enter SKILL code directly without an explicit need to compile it.

    There is the ability to create a context file (which is an incremental snapshot of the state of the SKILL Virtual Machine) - there are SKILL functions for doing this. Perhaps this is what you mean?

    Please explain why you want a compiler or why you think you need one.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew
