If the 1.5 release of the JVM will support generics and discriminated
unions, is there anything keeping it from being on par with the .NET
CLR (w/ ILX extensions) for ML implementation? That is, can the F#
project be repeated for Java after this point?
Thanks,

My understanding is that the JVM isn't changing, just Java.
So, for instance, generics are encoded by doing up-casts to
Object and downcasts, etc. So, we won't be any better off
trying to do F# on the JVM than we are today.
