Too bad GMP is LGPLv3+, while Java is GPLv2 only, so we'll not see Java using GMP in the foreseeable foture. Kaffe's JVM uses GMP, though. If Clojure runs on it, it'd be interesting to see what sort of numbers it produces. I've not seen a decent GMP wrapper for Java -- does anyone know of any such implementation?
