Description

By using Kilim framework for internal GPars implementation, it is possible to make the GPars really efficient for concurrent programming, even better than Java.
That framework was used by Kresten Krab Thorup to implement Erjang ( Erlang for JVM), and that implementation looks more efficient than original Erlang.
(The presentation for Erjang http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Modeling-Concurrency-with-Actors-in-Java).

Several challenges to consider:
Kilim MIT-style license
Potential integration issues to check - weaving Groovy code, impact on the build process of GPars' users, grabbing GPars through Grape
GPars needs to run wherever Groovy can be used, including Grails, the groovy console, mobile devices

Reasons:

  • The Kilim approach may cause troubles integrating with some managed environments (e.g. gae)
  • Nobody reported interest in this feature
  • Our own implementation has improved over time and using Kilim no longer seems like bringing enough value
