My readers know that I am very good technology predictor or trend screamer and thus this post title, InfoQ if really interested I listen to cash to pay my living expenses. Thus, what is the one or most important trend that will not be covered at JavaOne that in fact should be covered.
Scripting on the Java Virtual Machine has gotten 'play' before in past years. We have of course JSR 223 and the scripting project at java.net, jsr 292 adding anew JV instruction called invokedynamic and etc. sound s like a far away event that we will not see for awhile, right?
What if I were to tell you that a major group of competitors to the ruby on Rails frameworks were going to be on the JVM in python running at production stable levels this year? Okay, lets go through all the signs.
According to this InfoQ article we have had a new Python compiler 2.5 since September 2007. We have the Python 2.5 release. Jython roadmap states next Jython release(2.5) is targeted for Python2.5. It has the sated goal of getting Django, TurboGears, Twisted(Actually, I mean Woven on top of Twisted), and Pylons MVC web frameworks running on Jython 2.5 within the JVM.
Jython source code is up to CPython 2.3 and they are now transitioning to CPython 2.5
Parser Milestone 1 finished by javaOne 2008
Milestone 2 by end of June 2008.
Milestone 3 Django and TurboGears and Zope GSOC projects
Milestone 4 advanced Compiler also a GSOC project
,br>
I think they are going to give Sun and JRuby some very hard competition folks! Python native on the JVM by end of 2008 seems like a goal that will be reached.
