Eventually, yes. The most interesting option is to use LLVM to jit-compile; see http://gbenson.net/ for the current status. > Or is it planned to always aot compile stuff by default and continue to > support using gij as java ? It all depends on how well the LLVM-based jit works. For example, gcj is currently between 1.6 and 10 times faster than Sun's C++ interpreter on ARM systems, so it's worth keeping gcj alive there until we get something better. Only desktop systems fully- supported by a custom JIT, there is little need for gcj.
