Thanks, Patrick. Many of the ideas floated on this list deserve to be prototyped on the OpenJDK mlvm.
If I had a decade's leisure, I'd try them all personally. Right now I have time mainly for dynamic invoke work, treating neighboring ideas (like other invocation features) as targets of opportunity. Stay tuned... If you want to get into the sources, get used to Mercurial. The mlvm will be a Mercurial workspace. Best, -- John P.S. The shift of OpenJDK to Mercurial is happening as we speak: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/kellyohair/archive/2007/10/ openjdk_mercuri_4.html This is an amazing transition for us at Sun. We've been using SCCS/Teamware since the beginning of time, and now we're switching to an open-source, dynamic-language-based SCM system. I've been a Teamware fan for a long time, and I'm glad there's finally a modern replacement for it. (The key property of both systems is fully symmetric distribution; you can do all your code management disconnected from the local and/or global nets. There is no special server that claims to know everything. When you do a pull you get all the bits.)
