I'm wondering if there has been any more movement or discussion of including  
dynamic method invocation (a la Objective-C and Smalltalk) in Java.  This  
simpl addition is the only glaring thing I see as a drawback to to Java at  
this point (well aside from that C++ syntax ;-)

It seems that anyone who has use this feature would agree to the overwhelming  
benefits it provides.  Particularly in terms of enabling even MORE dynamic  
applications and applets.
