Great Expectations: Java Virtual Machinehi everybody, did you notice that... Java is now GPL! [tra la la la] but... I am not sure what it means for Java to be distributed under GPL. I reckon the first thing is, it can be distributed with Linux distros right away. was that impossible before? the second question, I hope, is more important. can there be forks of the Java legacy now? more specifically, *ahem* if now, can we implement a VM that satisfies the JVM specification but allows more? if not, consider the question hypothetical. so that, Java will run on the VM, but [a narrow example] there will be other bytecode operations... you know, things like JSR 292... invokedynamic, hotswapping... what would be, in your opinion, the most significant change you want to see in the current JVM? [don't mind me, I'm a newbie, I'll just follow the discussion. but even though it is not a language topic, some things, like the closure proposal, I suppose, are relevant.] By uchchwhash at 2007-01-17 15:13 | LtU Forum | previous forum topic | next forum topic | other blogs | 5569 reads
