Presentation: "JBoss Polyglot: Java & Beyond"
Time:
Wednesday 10:30 - 11:20
Location:
Regency
Abstract:
For over a decade, Red Hat has been investing in the
Java Virtual Machine (JVM), building frameworks and servers to solve
large-scale problems using Java. In the past decade, many promising non-Java
languages have targeted the JVM as an ideal runtime. From Ruby, to Lisp, to
Javascript, Red Hat has found that the facilities they have created to support
enterprise Java programmers can also benefit a new generation of engineers
using alternative languages. Redesigning the wheel from scratch for each
language makes no sense, so through its Polyglot efforts, Red Hat multiplies
the power available to each language with ease. In this talk, we'll see how
existing JBoss technologies are made available to a variety of languages,
demonstrating aspects of TorqueBox for Ruby, Immutant for Lisp/Clojure, and
AS.js for Javascript. They will also outline plans to go beyond the
application-server, where other languages may touch upon individual frameworks
and projects.
