For example, the options could have been Sun, OpenJDK, JRockit, IBM, etc.<br /><br />Also, for myself personally, and the Linux distros out there, JavaFX is not going to be on the radar until it is a part of OpenJDK so it can be distributed, which may explain the large non-yes portion of the JavaFX question.Craighttp://candrews.integralblue.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-72672329817765148122008-12-14T22:20:51.000+00:002008-12-14T22:20:51.000+00:00Martin: see the new entry: http://www.jroller.com/...Martin: see the new entry: http://www.jroller.com/scolebourne/entry/jdk_7_language_changes_devoxx<br /><br />Ismael: Java version fixed, thanks.Stephen Colebournenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-51742332280882906202008-12-14T20:38:28.000+00:002008-12-14T20:38:28.000+00:00Antonio, there was a university session about Ruby...Antonio, there was a university session about Ruby/JRuby done by Tom Enebo and Charles Nutter.

Not that I mind since my favourite JVM language is Scala.<br /><br />"So, more people are using Java 1.6 than Java 1.7. Interesting."<br /><br />I believe you meant to say "Java 1.6 than Java 1.5" since it's only natural that 1.6 is used more than 1.7. :)Ismael Jumahttp://blog.juma.me.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-741750605858169835.post-75228155859215910372008-12-14T15:50:56.000+00:002008-12-14T15:50:56.000+00:00Hi, nice to sum up the results of the witeboards, ...Hi, nice to sum up the results of the witeboards, although some (maybe even the most interesting) questions are missing, like which features people wanted the most in Java 7.<br />Also, the boards where not there on Friday I think, because on Thursday they said it was the last voting possibility on Devoxx because on Friday they would be gone.<br />There is also a typo in your post there are more users of Java 1.6 than 1.5, not than 1.7 (maybe also because it is not released yet :-) ).Martin Sturmhttp://www.wolkje.netnoreply@blogger.com
