- Subject: Should we remove java from the default bootstrap languages?
I posted this question to the SC panel at the GCC Summit today. I
wanted to consider the possibility of making java a non-default language.
Would the Java maintainers agree to this?
The rationale is mostly that Java takes a very long time to build, and
it does not seem to be used widely enough (maybe I'm wrong the latter
point).
Thanks. Diego.
