I recently realized, e.g., that the HotSpot JVM is the R.M.S. Titanic, and invokedynamic (or any change in bytecode) is the iceberg. That's probably a reason why we're still waiting for lambdas, in-memory transactions, etc. It's too large to evolve quickly.
I've read your comment three times today. I still cannot avoid thinking of Richard M Stallman and trying to link him to the Titanic. Even though I know it is wrong.
I've got the wrong closure over HN.
