The verification is, which allows the optimisation to be extremely broad and non deterministic.

It's really unlike a compiler. For example, for a function like 'sort', the optimisation can:

- Use quicksort if the data distribution is generic.

- Use insertion sort if the data is nearly sorted

And so on... As long as these can be proven sound, Maxwell can pick the best optimisation in real time.

How does it prove the performance improvement? Does it A/B test in place on a production app?
