SE-Radio-Episode-266:-Charles-Nutter-on-the-JVM-as-a-Language-Platform

Charles Nutter from the JRuby project talks to Charles Anderson
about JRuby and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as a platform for
implementing programming languages. They begin by discussing the
Java platform beyond just the Java language. As a case study in
implementing a language other than Java on the JVM, they discuss
JRuby - what it is and how it’s implemented on the JVM. They
discuss recent additions to the Java platform like the
invoke-dynamic byte code and lambdas in Java 8. The conversation
concludes by discussing the future of the Java language,
platform, and virtual machine.
