Pretty cool stuff. If they add continuations, I'm all for throwin rhino down the drain.
[at least, from a community perspective, we wouldn't be basing our entire architecture on branched code of a almost-dead community hosted in a location that doesn't care about java]
Scary statement, but unfortunately so true...
I don't think that statement is true, rather I'd say it's simply FUD. The architecture of Cocoon is not based on Rhino. I think it has been shown that any language that supports continuations can quite easily be plugged into Cocoon. The problem is that it's hard to find such languages (and currently Groovy is not currently one of them). Instead of denigrating Rhino, why not show some appreciation for the fact that it does actually work. If you look at the list archives you'll see many postings about languages that various people feel would be better than Rhino (Python, Java, etc), but currently none of them actually work in Cocoon. If you're concerned about community support why not add the Rhino-with-continuations source to the Cocoon cvs. The Cocoon community is more than capable of maintaining it, IMO.
