Not a discussion but some feedback and thank you :)

[Paul Sandoz]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the feedback, it’s appreciated (and no need to apologise!).

I took a quick look at the slides, I think they accurately reflect the current state of affairs (i cannot possibly comment on any perceived connection to Game of Thrones conniving and scheming).

Thanks,
Paul.

In case you’re not aware of the slide deck, here’s a link: https://www.slideshare.net/ChristophEngelbert/project-panama-beyond-the-jvm-wall <https://www.slideshare.net/ChristophEngelbert/project-panama-beyond-the-jvm-wall>. I hope I didn’t make a major mistake in any of the slides though.

For example it would be really cool to have some JNR alike interface-based system to hide the MethodHandle magic, guess you guys are very much aware of this :-) And that’s about it. One thing that people really loved (at least the ones to understand it) is the option to have the same MethodHandle but resolving it differently, which ends up in the option to (based on the environment) build your own kind of custom intrinsics! Awesome stuff!
