The things here look somewhat cool. It's too bad that the title is about as unappealing as you can get. What hacker is really going to be interested in "Java technology, IBM style"? You might as well just say "COBOL technology, Microsoft style".
The real news here is JVM 7 not Java 7. "Java 7 will provide improvements that allow implementers of compilers for dynamically typed languages to produce implementations for the Java runtime more easily, and for those implementations to run at much greater performance."<p>That's very good news for users of Clojure, Groovy, JRuby, Jython, and other languages > Java 7
I hope they don't forget to include the "released and available for use" feature. IBM seemed to forget about this for over a year after Sun had released JDK5.
