hmm. didn't know that group existed. thanks! and Neal
Gafter is there!
looks like the hot favorites are:
from John Rose's list:
- tail calls and tail recursion
- continuations and coroutines
- tuples and value-oriented types
- lightweight method objects
- runtime support for closures
- invokedynamic
from Rémi Forax:
- reified generics (generics at runtime)
so I guess my initial guesses were pretty much right
(as possible candidates) but someone did mention
Parrot :fear: as a fearful example of... well, being
too broad in scope. my question (still burning) is
that which one (or two) of these would be of the
greatest importance from a Scala perspective. I
suppose continuations and coroutines are not exactly
what I have in mind.
