ASM is entirely orthogonal, actually. There's no need to force a specific bytecode-generation backend on any of the participating languages; they simply need to support the protocols I describe in my previous email. The "compiler" itself really just needs to act as a type-managing intermediate between languages and a starter gun for producing bytecode once all participating languages are happy. Whether you eventually use ASM after that is up to you. - Charlie -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
