I'm puzzled; where is #become: mentioned as being implemented in that talk? It's mostly about INVOKEDYNAMIC, which is an entirely different thing. (They mention HotSwap on one slide, but that, as I wrote, has been around since 1.4, and is also not really #become:.)
I'n not sure what you mean that hotswap (or rather HotSwap) has been around since 1.4... do you perhaps mean HotSpot - the better jitter? I haven't dug into the fine details, but here is a post from 2006 by Gilad Bracha, sometimes contributor to this list: http://blogs.sun.com/gbracha/entry/jsr292_and_hotswapping and the update to it is the slides I cited say there is a patch to support hotswap currently as of Sept 2009. Perhaps Gilad is listening, and can provide some context. ../Dave
