I need to pay more attention to these things, but I'd been busy
graduating for the last few months. That's good news to hear and
I'm impressed. :) I see that there are some apps out there that
still need work/testing:

I remember when kaffe was really dragging its feet at the
beginning---kind of like our research project :) ---but things seem to
have really picked up.

If this rate of improvement keeps up, a great free JVM may really be a
reality in some months, and then many Java things can move out of
contrib and into main. Good!

Sounds like a nice project to contribute to. :)
