This means implementation of <I>invokeDynamic</I> is under way and we will definitely ne a step forward towards supporting dynamic languages on the JVM. Another pleasant surprise is Sun's promise to support hotswapping (a big Ah! from the Lispers and Smalltalkers). Full hotswapping with a statically typed base is still an active topic of research, but Bracha promises enough to support full hotswapping at least for the dynamic languages.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613713587074301135noreply@blogger.com
