I've been approved to do a talk at CommunityOne this year on how "we" all have been trying to bring JVM language implementers together. The general idea is to show that the "sleeping giant" of languages on the JVM is starting to wake up and will really be a force to reckon with.
So now I have to figure out what I'm going to talk about...here's my general idea so far: - Discussion of a few key languages that could be arguably considered "popular" and where they stand in their development processes - Other languages that are "up and coming" and their status. In both of these two sections it would be with an emphasis on showing how the process works and how people can help. - Discussion of the JVM language list, the JVM language runtime, Da Vinci Machine and JDK7 work, and other research helping languages in the future. This will show how we're all trying to cooperate to solve the problems of language impl on JVM. - How you can get involved, sites, mailing lists, list of books and resources for languages and language implementing, and people to talk to. I'm looking for help from you all, basically to attend if you'll be around SF for JavaOne, and you help me with information that fits into the above categories for whatever languages you're working on. I'd also love to hear about current and future projects you feel like are working toward solving JVM language impl challenges. Thoughts? Ideas for content you think should be added? Keep in mind that the crowd for this is going to be JavaOne-style folks, but probably the ones most interested in alternative languages. That could be a lot of them, and it could set the stage for the many language-related talks the rest of the week. - Charlie --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
