Nashorn has a splitter feature that will split large JavaScript
functions into multiple Java methods, so script/function size should no
longer be an issue. We are able to compile and run all large/huge
scripts in our test suite (mandreel, typescript, pdfjs...).
If you have a large script and plan to eventually run it with Nashhorn
it might be a good idea to give it a quick try. It should be as simple
as downloading the JDK8 preview release and running the jjs command
(even if it doesn't run as stand-alone script you can make sure it
compiles properly).

Hi,
We are using Rhino as the js engine in our project, and right now we
encountered the 64K limit issue while developing.
It's planned to port to Nashorn when it's released, so hope the issue can
somehow mitigated in the new engine. Would Nashorn do better than Rhino for
this issue?
We didn't evaluated Nashorn on this yet, so need your insight.
The reason why it is a major problem is our source code generates JS
dynamically based on the DB data, and we hope we can benefit from the
Nashorn performance improvement.
Thanks,
