"Giland Bracha", http://java.sun.com/people/gracha made a presentation at the 'JAOO conference", http://www.jaoo.org on changes Sun wants to make to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to encourage and support scripting language projects (Jython, Groovy, Ruby, ECMAScript) running on the JVM. Giland has a funny wit to his presentation style and left me with the impression that he is the only one at Sun assigned to this task. "If he is the only one then he is the best choice," remarked Jim Hugunin. Giland reports that he will take invokedynamic and other extensions to the JVM through the Java Community Process (JCP) and that he is looking for people to be part of the experts group. I'm willing to participate but I'm not a VM guy. I told Giland that I would search for someone to volunteer for the Jython effort. Any ideas? -Frank --- Frank Cohen, Raining Data, http://www.RainingData.com, phone: 408 236 7604 Author of "Java Testing and Design: From Unit Tests to Automated Web Tests" from Prentice Hall, details at http://thebook.pushtotest.com |

Hi Samuele: How about if I propose both you and I to Gilad? I'm based in San Jose (so is Gilad) and ex-Sun and can handle the California- local-political stuff. I'm not a JVM guy and just a so-so coder - so that would be your focus. What do you think? -Frank On Sep 29, 2005, at 9:45 AM, Samuele Pedroni wrote: > Frank Cohen wrote: > > >> "Giland Bracha", http://java.sun.com/people/gracha made a >> presentation at the 'JAOO conference", http://www.jaoo.org on >> changes Sun wants to make to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to >> encourage and support scripting language projects (Jython, >> Groovy, Ruby, ECMAScript) running on the JVM.
