Subject: Sun to Support Ruby
Date: 7 Sep 2006 21:57:16 -0700
From: mazurr@gmail.com
Organization: http://groups....
Newsgroups: comp.lang.java.programmer

Was at Sun Tech Days in Seattle today for a bit. Rich Green announced
that Sun will be supporting Ruby and Ruby on Rails. They have hired on
a few Ruby gurus to help the cause along. The JVM will become the VM
(less the "J") and interpret Java and Ruby....and perhaps other
languages down the road.

They are currently working on support for Ruby in Netbeans, and (if I
heard correctly) plan for some form of Ruby support in Netbeans 5.5.

Sounds cool to me. Opinions?

Rob

p.s. Also saw more of how Project Looking Glass was shaping up during
a Sun Spot demo. The desktop looked a lot cooler today than the demos
found at Sun ( http://www.sun.com/software/looking_glas... )

I did NOT.
The cause of it's disappearing has been dicussed here recently.

Not entirely true.
It is used mostly in newsgroups where Americans like to "discuss" American
things whatever the subject of the newsgroup is.
It's pollution of newsgroups.
You know that of course.

You can easily see that this is a lie.

Nope. What you call netiquette is not necessarily what "WE" call netiquette of
what *IS* netiquette.

How would you know?
(Probably "the planet" for you is rmcr and all village news in the US.)

Really?
I'm chocked.

Please explain your source for asserting that OT threads that are so marked
are "well within the sphere of what we call netiquette." There's no
question that marking them thusly is more considerate than not marking them,
but for the person who starts more OT threads than anyone else to make that
claim sounds a little self-serving unless you can back it up with something
other than your own opinion.

It IS self-serving only.
Specially because more than 95% of all posts in this ng find place in such
threads, which the thread starter knows. It's a form of abusing a ng for one's
own purposes.
