| Session Title: |
Script Bowl 2009: A Scripting Languages Shootout |
| Session Abstract: |
In this session, the scripting languages that run atop the JVM™ machine are represented by their gurus. They duke it out to become the most popular scripting language among the widely used languages by doing a set of timed common tasks in the respective languages. This is followed by a timed free-format round that highlights the coolness aspect of the particular language. This session is a sequel to the highly popular Scripting Language Shootout of the 2008 JavaOneSM conference, and the audience participates in selecting the winner. Scripting language gurus returning from 2008 are Groovy, JRuby, Jython, and Scala. This year there is also a new kid on the block: clojure. After attending this fun-filled and technically invigorating session, attendees will be able to judge for themselves which scripting language is appropriate for their technical and business needs. They will also be able to compare and contrast the respective languages and possibly provoke some thought-provoking discussions among the panelists that will be beneficial to the audience in general. |
