> Sure. Does Java support function variables?

I believe the JVM can support this, as the
authors of Kiev implemented closures and remained
JVM-compliant. I only wish the *language* would
go the additional step of offering method pointers.
It's not like it's hard. They could even be reference
counted.

Probably not. I don't believe that the JVM will
yield you an execution frame all that easily, albeit,
perhaps you can see how much of a mod to the JVM it
really is.
