Mark Reinhold leads the closures charge with There’s not a moment to lose!:
The free lunch is over. Multicore processors are not just coming—they’re here. Leveraging multiple cores requires writing scalable parallel programs,
which is incredibly hard. Tools such as fork/join
frameworks based on work-stealing
algorithms make the task easier, but it still takes a fair bit of e

John Rose has blogged about his paper on "Bytecodes meet Combinators: invokedynamic on the JVM" for the VMIL workshop at OOSPLA on the internals and implications of adding invokedynamic t

I have made no secret of the fact that I have not been a fan of CFSCRIPT and feel it was a lost opportunity. Javascript has taken the development world by stor
There was a bunch of good things to see at this years Devoxx. My personal highlights are ScalaTest (you definitively want to look into this when testing concurrency in any java code ... the best way to test different race scenarios I've seen so far).
Another highlight was the amount of work done on JavaFX yet. The new UI for the clickable gui builder shown briefly by Tor ... surely you remember...

If you haven’t paid much attention to Java on smart cards because you thought it’s not “real” Java – well, look again. It’s true that Java Card 2 was very limited in many ways – a testament to the kind of technology you had available on smart cards 10 years ago. There are billions of these out there today..."
