Flex is Java too. Android / Dalvik was already mentioned. Then we also have:
- Fantom - Clojure - Erjang - Fortress - JRuby - Groovy - JavaScript - Jaskell - Jython - PHP etc. all running on the Java™ Virtual Machine. So it definitely seems more than a little odd that the "Java" posse (and others on this mailing list) should devote so much time to a Apple's iOS technology. A technology notable for its refusal to run Java, or indeed any of the languages on the Java platform. I defy anyone to take a serious look at just Fortess, Fantom, Scala and Clojure - then to tell me, with a straight face, that there isn't really very much going on here, or that there isn't enough variety to be interesting!
