Indeed. The last released version is for JDK 1.6 and has enormous performances problems (mainly due to memory model). Anyway, versions 1.x of OCaml-Java has always been seen by me a proofs of concept. For some time, I have been working on version 2.0 that will target JDK7. It currently uses MethodHandles, but not the "invokedynamic" mechanism. It should remain the same, as can be read from the aforementioned thread. Using MethodHandles greatly simplifies and accelerates code (whether interpreted or compiled). To the original poster, the implementation of OCaml (*) on the JVM may be interesting to notice because it is a statically-typed language. And no, Java folks, a language with runtime casts is *not* statically-typed... just joking.
