Couldn't let this one go by... (sorry)
I'm one of those "Sun Java" people. And I don't think that.
I think that GCJ is a really usefull weapon in the armoury. It may
even become a standard way of improving Java performance but my own
view is it's likely to remain just another option.
A *lot* of work is happening on this and there are some quite
interesting developments. GCJ is one. The potential of HotSpot engines
is another and approaches like Jazelle is yet another.
Also, I don't think that the usenix people necessarily represent the
"java community".
