Agreed!

As soon as we implement most of what we agreed at the JSR conference,
we should have *much* better error reporting.


I'm almost done listening to your keynote and I like some of the things I'm
hearing. The mention of Janino caught my attention as I used it in an
informal test recently against javac, groovy and PropertyUtils. Looking
back at the results and my comments, it was slightly unfair to ASM in that
at the time I did not realize that groovy was doing every invoke via
reflection. As you mention in your keynote groovy should be able to compile
to a non-reflection class when appropriate.

Surprisingly enough, Janino was faster than my control class (using javac)
by about 30%.
