Google I/O 2008 - Server-side JavaScript on the Java VM

Server-side JavaScript on the Java Virtual Machine
Steve Yegge (Google)

After over a decade in the browser space, JavaScript is making a surprise move into the server programming space. Mozilla Rhino is turning JavaScript into a compelling option for Java programmers. Will JavaScript be the next server-side programming language? In this talk I will do a deep dive into Rhino's technology, and I'll demonstrate some of its many uses in server-side computing.

While I happen to be a Python user and advocate, myself... it seems to me that Google forbidding Steve to use Ruby, while relatively innocuous in and of itself, might be an early sign of the "hardening of the arteries" that successful tech companies ultimately succumb to.

It sounds less like the freewheeling programmers' Utopia which encourages programmer creativity at every juncture, than like a large organization where rules and procedure reign supreme. Not saying they're there yet. But...

youtube is owned by Google

Google have a few channels including Techtalks which is great, I recomend u check it out

[tuleo554]

considering it's streaming video it makes no difference how long they are, if u don't have enough bandwidth to stream that's nobody elses fault

Please cut them in 20min at most each part. It is tireful and we cannot import them with poor internet. Thnks anyway.
