Two days ago during a Q and A session with Sun's Mustang engineering team, the question was asked if they implemented Mustang in Java. The answer was something like, "Sunlabs is doing research in building a JVM in java. When they get it correct, Mustang will incorporate it. Mustang currently has a lot of C/C++ code." I also see merit in this observation. Weldon
