[Jscheme-user] javadot and .net

[Ken A. <kan...@bb...>]

I went to Joe Marshalls talk on Common Larceny today.  Joe has adopted the javadot notation to Common Larceny to get reflective access to .net objects.

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/will/Larceny/ even has a pointer to our javadot page.  Since Common Larceny is written in C, it was a bit more work to marshal and unmarshal the arguments.  His system is based on the Swindle object system which has a Tiny Clos mop.

Matthais suggested that we could write scripts that were portable between Java and .net if we had a library, such as JLib that could hide the differences. 

If we need to make extensions to Java dot for JDK 1.5 we should work them out with Joe.
