http://radio.javaranch.com/news/ Stories from around the ranch http://radio.javaranch.com/news/2008/07/03/1215151025188.html <p> Recognizing the interest in alternative languages for the Java VM, we've started a new discussion section for Other Languages. For starters, it contains the following forums: </p><p> <a href="http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=60">Other Languages</a> (this is the old "Object Oriented Scripting" forum with a new name) </p><p> <a href="http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=90">Groovy</a> </p><p> <a href="http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=91">Scala</a> </p><p> Obviously we're interested in people using these to discuss their favorite languages (or in asking questions so that they have a chance to make these their favorite languages), so you can help us in spreading the word about them. </p><p> We're also open to suggestions for other languages, if people feel that there's no good place to discuss them in a friendly setting. JRuby? Jython? Heck, <a href="http://www.is-research.de/info/vmlanguages/">there are so many</a> that we may not even have heard about them. </p><p> We welcome your feedback in <a href="http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=003157">this discussion</a>. </p> http://radio.javaranch.com/news/2008/05/13/1210714945903.html <p> Two longstanding contributors have joined the ranks of the other JavaRanch moderators: <b>Campbell Ritchie</b> and <b>Rob Prime</b>. Welcome guys!<P>Say hello and wish them luck <a href="http://saloon.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=003117">in this thread</a>. </p>
