There is some interesting stuff there. The object-oriented pattern matching paper is something I'll have to read.
What benefits do the upcoming 'invokedynamic' instructions offer to Scala? All the synopses I've read explain only how it will benefit dynamic languages like JRuby.
- jorgeortiz85 17y agoScala can already be made to run as fast as Java, so performance improvements aren't as critical for Scala as they are for dynamic languages on the JVM. That said, invokedynamic might be able to optimize Scala's structural types, which are a form of duck typing.
