I belatedly read a lot of the Java/JVM/C#/.NET discussion on desktop-devel-list.
I wish I’d been involved, bummer. Next time.

This weekend I’m going on a short vacation to Santa Fe. We’re
going to stay with Mark Galassi again, that’ll be fun. I really need
this vacation… hopefully when I get back I’ll be more motivated to
answer all that email I’ve left (e.g., libffi stuff), all those
patches I haven’t read, etc.

Here
are some nice ideas about potential problems with the JCP.

Good news, the paper Andrew and I are writing for the GCC Summit was accepted.
Now we just have to write it. Hopefully lots of gcj and other Free
Java folks will show up at the summit this year. SableVM guys, it is
just up the road in Ottawa…
