So you can help me with a couple of answers:
* Is it a goal to close the gap to Java’s more trickier syntax, such
as placement-new and placement constructor calls? From what I can
tell, we’d have to extend the AST too to support that. Has anyone
ever used that except in compiler test cases?
I had to actually look up what you mean... so you can give type
arguments in a constructor call? I did actually not know this. I would
not give this one any priority, unless it is easy to do... but then I
would not really give it an AST implementation yet
* ./benchmark/bench/heapsort.groovy uses access modfiers on the
script’s local variables — that’s not really allowed, is it? How
should that work? It can’t get it to work in Groovy 2.4.x
You mean like "public static final long IM = 139968"? It does not really
make a semantic sense to allow this. For convenient copy&paste this
could be allowed... if it poses no problem, I think it would be nice to
have. But it is not really required
