First draft of translation document

[Nathan Bryant]

In that case, if the VM were to decide to generate an optimized
specialization for a partially applied function, where does the
generated code go? A MethodHandle may be data, but seems like code is
code.

Are you saying the code goes on the normal heap, then?

Permgen is an issue with nominal class metadata.  But method handle
activity 
happen in the actively managed memory pools, because method handles are
anonymous.
