Programming Summit at Sun

Sun Microsystems hosted a programming summit yesterday with many big names in programming in attendance. Tim Bray has a good write-up about the day, the process putting together the event, and some of the outcomes.

• Groovy — James Stachan

• Java

  Graham Hamilton

  Gilad Bracha

  Martin Buchholz

• Parrot — Dan Sugalski

• Perl — Larry Wall

• Python

  Guido van Rossum

  Samuele Pedroni

  Sean McGrath

Good to see so many major coders in one spot to share ideas. Tim predicts “that as time goes by, more and more of the code written in the Java ecosystem won’t be in Java. This is a good thing.”
