Not to bash JRuby, but has Sun shown any 'official' support to the
Groovy project?  I would have thought Groovy has a lot more potential
in terms of interoperability, since it reuses Java standsrds such as
beans and servlets.  I've been wondering for a while (for real, no
flamewar intended) what does (J)Ruby have that Groovy doesn't?

On a similar note, I keep hearing a lot of different things about
Sun/Java6 supporting different scripting languages as the 'standard.'
Groovy has a JSR, J6SE will ship with Rhino (which is understandable,
I guess, since it's more lightweight than Groovy).  I heard something
about a PHP reference implementation on the Java scripting API, and
then BeanShell has a JSR as well.

Can someone straighten me out here?

Thanks.
