Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to A Technical Paper on Java

My goodness, someone has been doing their share of serious investigation! I did indeed have the honor of working on Guy Steele's team at Sun 5 years ago, for a summer. I was responsible for rewriting the Math library for Java (and making it IEEE standards-compliant) for v1.1, as well as researching garbage collection. Guy Steele was writing the JLS at the time, and the team discussed various aspects of the spec every now and then. So I had a slight role in the JLS process, specifically regarding java.lang.Math. Very slight. But yes, that's my name in the intro.
