I guess the key problem is being able to generate and load arbitrary code. In JRuby, that would happen in JIT mode and if methods are bound using generated stubs/invokers. But we also can just run interpreted and use reflection, which I think gets around the security issues. It seems like Groovy could do the same by precompiling, unless there's some additional code generation at runtime even when all code is precompiled. It seems like CLR/DLR/Silverlight would have to support code generation to allow IronRuby and IronPython to run. Assuming that's the case, why is their security model more permissive about this kind of thing than the Java plugin's? - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
