Spotted in Sean McGrath says that Java (the language) is going to subside, with the JVM itself being targeted:
Groovy adds more grist to the dynamic typing mill.
Java the language is on its way to becoming the assembler of the 21st century.
Its there for a reason and does its job well.
It can be programmed directly if push comes to shove
Day-to-day work targeting the JVM is best done in something more productive.
It's really a pity that the JVM sucks so hard for dynamic languages - this would be a great way for Sun to add value over .NET, if they actually had a clue
