my last information was, that Sun doesn't want to support any of these
officially to not to side with any of them and make the others angry...
Now that looks like a lie to me. Ok, they decided different.
I see also negative effects for groovy, because which company should
support Beanshell or Groovy now, when Sun is putting their attention on
JRuby... Or to say it different... what should I answer a CEO when I am
asking for financial support, when he asks me why he should support
Groovy, when Sun does support JRuby? I really don't know what I should
say here :(
