Part of the challenge will be that 8 is a quickly moving target, lambda is synced with 8 sporadically, and mac port is based on 7, (and in the future 7u) which is a quickly moving target, diverging from 8, obviously.
My suggestion would be to start by looking at the diff between 7 and mac port, and then applying that to a variant of the lambda forest. If you want to in addition follow mlvm and jdk8 in flight, I would not underestimate the integration effort necessary to make it all work as expected (rather then just build;). cheers, dalibor topic On 11/17/11 4:03 PM, Ben Evans wrote: > Sounds like a great idea.
