About the conference

The 2008 JVM Language Summit is an open technical collaboration among language designers, compiler writers, tool builders, runtime engineers, and VM architects. The talks inform the audience, in detail, about the state of the art of language design and implementation on the JVM, and the present and future capabilities of the JVM itself.

    The type inference capabilities of .NET and runtime generic capabilities showcased in this demo seems awesome. If only somehow the JVM could have runtime generics instead of doing the .class whenever you wish to indicate a class to a framework for doing something.

    If only Linq to SQL weren't being relegated to "all back of the bus" status within Microsoft. Truly a shame....
