Yes -certainly better than the current marketing-chosen name: "JavaFX Script". > Re: Kawa, I'm specifically interested in the reusable language > infrastructure that underlies it, which seems like a big plus--oddly > enough, even used in one attempt for Perl on the JVM, see - > http://www.ebb.org/bkuhn/writings/technical/thesis/node40.html for > example.

We did consider using Kawa for the JavaFX Script compiler: I did some preliminary porting, and Chris Oliver was in favor of the idea, but we were overruled by management, who said we should base it on javac. (I'm not saying management was wrong in this - while we could probably have progressed faster using Kawa, there were good practical reasons for going the javac route.) -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://per.bothner.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
