Specialization
James Robertson: I just had that conversation with a friend before he left for JavaOne. He’s frustrated by a number of things in Java, which all go back to the needs of the security model - his point being that it has less relevance for a server side application. I’m running this application on a Smalltalk server, where arbitrary code could be loaded in at any time. Here’s the catch though - only two people have permissions on the system. So in order to mount such a code loading attack, one of the two of us would have to do it. Hmm - seems unlikely.
/me affirmatively whispers Specialization.
