This morning's IRC discussion about Flow

[Bertrand Delacretaz <bd...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

Here's a short summary of this morning's discussion on #cocoon, about 
Sylvain's proposal, which is to instrument javascript code to enable 
continuations using the official Rhino javascript interpreter.

This would allow us to use the official Rhino distribution instead of 
the fork that we're using now.

In summary:

1) Stephan sees a technical solution to implement sylvain's proposal, 
based on the javaflow continuations stuff and a custom classloader for 
Rhino code.

2) Shipped flowscript languages would be javascript (already tested in 
the field) and java (using javaflow, experimental ATM)

3) To stay focused, we're not going to support other flow languages at 
this time, although it would be technically possible.

Thanks to all who participated to this discussion!

-Bertrand
