This also will attract MMTk developers to our project. As Robin said our
project has VM, compiler, classlib and everything else needed for J2SE in
the same place. So we are more flexible for experiments then any other open
Java platform I know.
Agree. As long as we have API documentation available for helper
developers, this is a good solution.
