There have been many JVM languages in the recent few years including Javascript, Python, Ruby etc. (full list here: List of JVM Languages). My question is this: why has Sun not come out with a full suite of languages for the JVM just like Microsoft’s .NET? With the new version of the JVM, they can make any necessary adjustments for dynamic languages or the type system and release a compiler for at least a few languages. This would immediately give access to Java’s already existing large class library to a whole bunch of languages.
