PHP has the tightest "in" here. It'd be nice to have a few Perl folks following along at home to make sure it works with more than PHP.
What's weird is that despite their statement:
----------
This specification will introduce the basic technical background to bridge the scripting and the Java community. The specification is concerned with how to write and package Java classes that will be accessible from different scripting engines.
----------
This already exists in a fairly stable package known as the Bean Scripting Framework [1], first started by IBM but then donated to Apache Jakarta. It's not web-specific but is clearly used by folks in that context.
Les Orchard floated a thought [2] about creating a Perl engine for the BSF, but I doubt anything came of it.
Unfortunately my understanding of how the JCP works is that the only way to "follow along at home" is to be part of the expert group. And everyone wants to do that, right?
