Non-trivial as well as kernel support. Anyway, as far as kernel support is concerned, it shouldn't be a problem on a free OS, right?:-) I must say I am not sold on Java yet. Scheme remains my favorite prototyping language. Once you learn to exploit features like creating functions (closures) on the fly and functional composition, O-O languages look rather anemic and under powered.
