I will be disappointed if all these anticipated JVM enhancements offer no measurable or noticeable improvement to Java 8 over current versions of Scala.
The only advantage I see is that the byte code is cleaner and doesn't need as many internal Java class files like what Scala generates. This sounds quite minor by itself. Personally, I don't care about supporting older Java runtimes, but I expect the Java team to put out something better than what other languages like Scala and Groovy have shipped on the JVM many years ago. I have another lambda question for this group, but I'll put that in another thread. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
