"It's planned in the official Java 8 runtime." Do you have any sources on that? Java 8 has been released for a while now, and this is the first time I hear about this. Given the dynamism of most Java code and the very very wide use of runtime-generated code via cglib or asm, dynamic proxies etc., I think this could actually be quite hard (well, the runtime could still cache the generated code, and if the dynamically generated bytecode matches the stored hash, it could just use the cached code; but maybe there are other issues as well).
