If we only get one slot, the choice is harder. Clearly "Kawa - Full

really happy to have continuations. On the other hand, Simon (Full
Continuations)
has been fairly quiet, while Charles (REPL improvements and pretty
printing)
has been very proactive: He's already submitting decent patches, asking
good questions
on the Kawa mailing list, and contributing in a positive manner. My
inclination
would be to reward that energy and enthusiasm. Jamison - what do you think?

Though to be fair: Simon ("Kawa - Full Continuations") has been studying
the literature, and the topic of implementing Full Continuations) is one that
involves more studying, researching, and planning, as opposed to incremental
small improvements, as Charles ("REPL improvements and pretty printing")
has been (so far) been focusing on.
