To appreciate the importance of LCG(Lightweight Code Generation) in .NET 2.0, you may want to read this piece by a JRuby developer: Lessons learned from JRuby compiler work http://groups.google.com/group/jvm-languages/browse_thread/thread/dbc3a4a382868904 His first agenda is "We need lightweight method objects".
