part7 – Ted Neward
summary
Argues that practical language work already exists on the JVM: Scala functions can compile into JDBC calls to generate SQL, dynamic languages like Groovy and JRuby cut unit‑test and UI code dramatically and Groovy compiles .java into .class, and dozens of JVM languages are available online — roughly 200+ entries — so teams build small DSLs (using lex yacc antlr gold) to parse inputs like SMS stock orders e g "buy 50 shares ibm at 50 us" and deploy successfully.
