Will 64K limit be an issue?

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

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).
