This is not reflection on John who came to the JSR long > after it was created. http://blogs.sun.com/gbracha/entry/invokedynamic and other blogs from around that time. "Last winter we had a meeting with various people who work on such languages - things like Groovy, Perl, Python/Jython. Our conclusion was that the most practicable thing was to support dynamically typed method invocation at the byte code level." There are some other notes about that meeting floating around on the web somewhere that were published at the time. If this list had existed then, we'd have more information about what was discussed back then and why they came up with the invokedynamic idea. Regards You must Sign in before you can post messages.
