Sun's Brewin toasts Java

21.07.2006

RB: Actually more generically, I would say it's more related to Sun's Web 2.0 strategy, and both in the sense of what we might be doing in developer tools as well as what we're going to do internally to support in terms of platform.

IW: So will there be a new product or a new developer tool?

RB: I think more than likely it will be changes to development tools, to better support Web 2.0 development.

IW: Related to REST?

RB: That is definitely one of the things on our list, the other ones being additional languages, scripting languages. [Including] obviously JavaScript. I'm looking at PHP [Hypertext Preprocessor ], Python, Ruby as possibilities. The other thing is to take a look at potential support for things like Ruby on Rails.
