For my CommunityOne talk...how about everyone posts five "interesting" JVM language projects. This can certainly include languages that aren't under active development right now or that don't have a large following. I just want to gather a list of languages that "we implementers" and JVM language enthusiasts think the world should know about (and which are good examples of the work we're doing on VM).
These do not represent languages you think are the "best" or "most important" or anything like that, so be honest. It's just going to be added to a flat list, probably in alphabetical order. Here's my top five "interesting" language projects: JRuby - pushing the bounds of class generation and dynamic invocation perf, as well as pulling a whole other platform into the JVM ecosystem Groovy - providing almost all Java language features and two-way integration in addition to many (most?) dynamic language features found in languages like Ruby. Jython - A second opportunity to pull a whole platform into the JVM world, and a very receptive Python community that doesn't hate anything with a J in it Scala - Not obvious? Solid integration with Java and object/functional goodness. Duby - Ok, I'm biased, but if I ever get time to work on it Duby could marry Ruby syntax with a full complement of Java features and local type inference. Exactly what I've been looking for. - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
