-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
I think NetRexx is about the same age - June '96 AFAIR (I would have to look it up, maybe it's even older...). Currently on version 3.01RC and active. But it compiles to Java source code, not directly to bytecode; but it can hide that fact quite well as the 'normal' user just invokes nrc and it does the java compile on its own. You *can* split that process for javadoc et al, though. cu, Patric Per Bothner schrieb am 20.08.2012 01:14: > I have a couple of claims I like to make, but to keep me honest I'd like to > know if I'm wrong > about: > > - Kawa is the oldest currently-active functional language on the JVM.
