Hi, I have just read about the upcoming JDK 6u14 [1], which mentions that one of the features is support for loading anonymous classes [2].
Is this being considered for Clojure? I couldn't really extract from the article whether this is backwards-compatible or how much overhead it is to maintain the classic handling of to-be-considered-anonymous classes and the new, really anonymous classes. Subjectively, I assume Clojure would benefit comparatively more from this feature than other dynamic JVM-languages, due to more prevalent use of GCd short-lived functions residing in short-lived classes.
