Linzer Torte & the NetBeans Platform
Today I’m heading for Linz where we’ll have a NetBeans Platform Certified Course at the Johannes Kepler University. Obviously the cultural capital of Europe must support the NetBeans platform. This is the third or fourth year in a row that the course is held there. I’m looking forward to meet Thomas Würthinger again, who will give the course together with Jaroslav Tulach and me.
I saw his name on some slides at Devoxx in the Universal VM talk by Brian Goetz and Alex Buckley recently. He was listed as one of the representatives for the Scheme language. Scheme support for the JVM is developed at their university, and they were among the likely adaptors of the new “invokeDynamic” bytecode. If you wanna try out scheme, there’s a NetBeans based IDE for this language called LambdaBeans.
