"Spent a great afternoon & evening with John Rose from Sun (compiler & VM team), who's on the Groovy JSR - we've managed to figure out many of the gremlins in the language. Plus I learnt quite a bit about the JVM. e.g. it might not be that hard to implement continuations at the JVM level! Apparently the JVM already does a kind of continuation internally for optimising bytecode - so if you want native continuations, hassle the good folks at Sun & raise some bug reports, maybe we can persuade them to sneak it into 1.6 :). Native Java continuations would totally rock - and avoid all that inefficient bytecode swizzling we'd have to do to implement continuations on top of the JVM."

Java 1.6... that will be in 2007 :-(
We'd better work with James on that "inefficient bytecode swizzling" and submit a JSR to standardize our API in 1.6...
