Hello,
I'm interested in playing with generic specialization. I've a couple of points to ask about.
Building. Following the instructions on the wiki [1], after cloning, the file get_source.sh does not exist and the commands chmod u+x get_source.sh ./get_source.sh fail. I ignored this and continued with bash configure make images which complete successfully. Is this fine?
Testing. I'm thinking of targeting my attempts at the JavaFX beans. Observable [2] demonstrates the type verbosity - each primitive type dictates type hierarchies just so that it can take or return its primitive value.
Would this area be considered a proper testing grounds for generic specialization? Can I expect to be able to replace all type hierarchies of primitives, such as the ones for ReadOnlyJavaBeanBooleanProperty [3] and ReadOnlyBooleanWrapper [4] with a single generic one, or is it too optimistic?

Thanks, Nir
