Google Working on Dynamic Runtime
July 3, 2008
A colleague called to my attention Microsoft wizard James Hamilton’s post about a possible Google initiative. You can read the full note here. For me the most interesting point in the note was:
…The popular speculation is that Google will be announcing a dynamic language runtime with support for Python, JavaScript, and Java. A language runtime running on both server-side and client-side with support for a broad range of client devices including mobile phones would be pretty interesting.
Why is this important? More flexibility for developers. Google’s programming innovations continue to percolate.
