Sure. But JVMs haven't. (Unless you paid for something like JRebel, which has its own issues.) Thomas is a genius and extremely nice to boot. He deserves to be more widely known.

@chrismonsanto has this thread (and the reddit thread) caused you to reevaluate what we, the programming community, consider 'notable'? The easy reaction would be to focus on the flamers, harden your heart and drive ahead. The wise man, he

Totally. Unfortunately, many people often have to consume both, and the Gosu typeloaders make that as painless as I've seen it. There's another project working on a YAML schema typeloader (I'm totally unfamiliar with that) and you could wri
