It might be interesting to see how much could be implemented in portable Java, without digging into native (C/C++) code. Kawa currently does not contain native code, which means we can make a single cross-platform "binary release". That doesn't mean I'll rule out having optional features that depend on native code, but I would prefer to stick to no native code in the default build. There are no doubt large parts of SRFI-170 that could be implemented without native code, but I haven't done the effort to see what the issues are. If someone wants to look into to what extent SRFI-170 can be mapped into Java APIs that would be interesting, but I'm not planning to do that study myself. -- --Per Bothner xxxxxx@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
