[pypy-dev] is anyone actively hacking on the JVM backend?

[Maciej Fijalkowski]

As noone answers... I think amitReg is doing some CLI related stuff, which
means you can stomp on each other on oosupport, but he's doing rather
library integration, so sounds very unlikely.  Besides, I'm not aware of
anyone.

Cheers,
