Hi all,
My turn to play the game :-) 1) JRuby or Jython or Rhino (pick the one you like best) Showing how one can "port" an existing scripting and/or dynamic language to the JVM 2) Groovy Showing how we can "derive" a dynamic language using the Java 5 grammar to make it look like Java, but dynamic semantics and its own feature set beyond what Java has to offer 3) One functional language of choise, but I'm not really qualified to say which one is the most interesting there :-( 4) Scala Showing another statically typed language for the JVM which marries functional and full OO language paradigms. 5) Ng Not only because John is my friend ;-) but because it's a very interesting and promising experiment to create the fastest MOP possible on a JVM which hasn't been designed to support dynamic languages I think these 5 ideas would cover some interesting ground, interesting paradigms and challenges.
