Subject: Tail calls in the JVM and the OCamlJava project
Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2009 23:14:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200901262314.37183.jon@ffconsultancy.com> (raw)
For anyone who missed it, there has been a very interesting development in JVM
land. Arnold Schwaighofer claims to have the first working implementation of
tail calls on the recently open sourced Hotspot Java compiler:

Given the existence of the OCamlJava project, this should be of great interest
to the OCaml community because it might pave the way to even better numerical
performance and easier parallelism with simple interop to rich libraries and
so forth.
