Sun Hires Two Key Python Developers

Posted by kdawson on from the money-where-their-mouth-is dept.

sspringer writes to let us know about Sun's continuing push to support scripting languages other than Java on its Java virtual machine. Sun just hired two key Python developers: Ted Leung, a long-time Python developer at the Open Source Applications Foundation, and Frank Wierzbicki, who is lead implementer of the Jython project. They will both work on Jython, which enables Python to run on the JVM. Last month Sun's CEO said the company wants to "take the J off the JVM and just make it a VM."

    You know what, I have been trying to have a reasonable conversation with you. But it is quite clear that you are incapable of that. You are the type of person who simply wants to show off. You know what you little fucking karma-whore, go fuck yourself. You are quite clearly what is very very wrong with /. I am not normally prone to violence, but for you I would make an exception. Buh-Bye asshole.
