There's a survey about future features and focus of Java and the JVM: http://www.infoq.com/research/priorities-java-jvm http://www.infoq.com/news/2012/08/priorities-java
As far as I know, from a Clojure perspective, we would like to see "tail-call optimization" and "tagged numbers" in the JVM. Perhaps someone can give me a hint as to which of the options contain features that would benefit Clojure? If we're seeing Java as some kind of assembly language, which serves us best by being as stable as possible, then I guess compatibility is very important and cleaning up old mistakes and removing deprecated stuff is not. Any other conclusions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
