Not to mention that there's already the IKVM project. When I was in the C# world about 4 years ago and had a pressing need to have some Java and .NET interoperability, I was able to use IKVM as a library. I could code in each language's native tool chains, performance was satisfactory, and it was a pretty straightforward process. I'm not familiar with Fantom, but at least on this front, there doesn't seem to be a real need.

Given JVM is very well supported on Windows, it's a complete waste. I'd rather have a improved Java-like language that is highly compatible to the JVM, the Java type system, and Java class libraries such that I have no sense at all of programming in a language that seems a bit out of place. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
