...but java continuations with the compiling classloader sounds pretty cool to me :)
I agree. I would also like to try out Groovy or Jython... but I do have fears on diverging too much.
I mean: do you guys think we really got the point where we understand what we want to do with continuations?
Do you guys want me to push this a little more again?
I would like to have a discussion on where do we stand "research-wise" on the flow with continuations concept, before trying to attach "what syntax should we use".
I mean, it would be totally cool if we had
- javascript - java - groovy - python
and then, just like we did with Woody, we would standardize on one.
But I still feel this is too early to do, I mean, we already have to sell the concept and we don't want to spoil our own marketing by early-diversifying that much.
This said, I see nothing wrong in starting a "continuations for java" project, say under jakarta, that would glue together people from cocoon and groovy (potentially rhino and jython too!).
This can totally happen in parallel.
And, if anything comes out, put it in the scratchpad for people to try out.
I mean, stabilizing is good, but we don't want to stop innovating either ;-)
