At Chip's YAPC talk, I mentioned that Java would soon be adding support directly to the language for "scripting" languages in their Java 6 or 1.6 release. Finding actual Sun documentation on the framework has been a little tough, but here's a sampling of a few articles that have been written just to see how things compare. It still seems that Java is still very much in control, but, as the JSR title says, this is really about the web and embedding other languages into JSP.
