Patrick, thanks for the references. Unfortunately, they tend to exacerbate the eternal debate between checked and unchecked exceptions and remind me the likely eternal debate between statically and dynamically typed languages. Fortunately, the JVM doesn't know about checked exceptions. Let's hope this will remain so even in the future. _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
