Yes, that is correct. For example, if I wanted to create a new Java File instance, I'd do `java.io.File.new(".")`. Now, for a progress report. Over the past while I've taken a general break from Amber to relax and spend more time not programming. However, the past weeks have not been entirely...

Indeed, not having support for Java would be a shame. That said, it would become a hassle to manage between both Java and Ruby scripts. Thankfully, JRuby allows interfacing between Java and Ruby code. So essentially, you could write your scripts in Java (building against ahead-of-time compiled...
