<<Yesterday, in my treatise about why Sun's emphasis on R&D and developer communities is too easily dismissed, I slipped in a bit of news about a skunkworks project at Sun called Phobos that the company unveiled this week at JavaOne. In the bigger scheme of things, Phobos is about how developers that work in languages other than Java will be able to program a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with those non-Java languages. This pick your favorite language for scripting runtimes is called "dynamic language support" and it has long been a feature of Microsoft's .Net runtime environment. >>

In the other direction ("Build your own scripting language for Java") there's a nice tutorial here:

Yes Sun is getting some real interesting areas. I noted another intiative by Sun on my vertical segment blog
