[Jscheme-user] JSR-223, Java scripting support

[Geoffrey K. <ge...@kn...>]

Saw this in a JavaOne 2003 announcement:

> JSR-223 provides scripting support so that developers can marry 
> scripting languages and the Java platform. Scripting languages are 
> often an entry point for Web programmers to become full-fledged 
> developers. In addition, scripting languages are frequently kludged in 
> with more robust languages, so Sun is providing a seamless and clean 
> way for developers to do this with standards in place.
>
> Sun is recognizing what scripting programmers already recognized: 
> Scripting languages are crucial to much technology development. An 
> estimated 3 million scripting programmers are out there, all of whom 
> Sun hopes to bring to the Java platform through this scripting > support.
