The Multilanguage VM
The Java platform is changing.
No longer can a developer get by just knowing Java. There's JRuby providing Ruby and Rails. There's Groovy with Grails and other frameworks. Jython for Django. Scala with Lift. Rhino for JavaScript and frameworks like Phobos.
And all of them provide not only access to their own frameworks and libraries, but first-class Java scripting capabilities.
If you aren't on a project that uses one of these languages today...you will be soon.
This talk will briefly explore a few of the non-Java languages you're likely to use soon, and then dive into how they're pushing the platform in new directions. We'll see how languages developed off-platform are stretching the JVM's capabilities. we'll walk through a number of JVM features planned for Java 7 and beyond to help alternative languages run even better than they do today.
And we'll look at ways you can get involved in the JVM languages revolution.
