High-end performance what?

August 10, 2006 Leave a comment

From the JavaForce.com’s article on 4th JCP Program Annual Awards,

A “computational theologist” according to himself, Gilad [BP: JSR 292 Spec Lead Gilad Bracha] is a distinguished engineer at Sun Microsystems who has been a Spec Lead for a large number of JSRs: 14, 65, 175, 201, 202, 292, and 294. He says that JSR 292 plans to extend sufficient support in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for implementers of dynamically typed languages such as Lisp, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk to directly target the JVM’s object model. This support will allow these languages to leverage the high-end performance capabilities of JVMs.

Wow, thank-you-very-much…. Sigh.
