jvm languages
Stevey's JVM Language Soko-Shootout: "In March 2005, I decided to take an in-depth look at languages for the Java Virtual Machine. I wound up picking a classic game called Sokoban and implementing it in nine languages."
I was especially interested in his reports on Groovy and Nice, as I've read about both but used neither. (Update: didn't realize that Nice came out of Inria (home of O'Caml) -- no wonder it seemed so sensible to me!)

I remember stumbling across Nice a while back and liking it, but I've never really found much use for it. The only time I write things targetting the JVM is when I'm doing something for someone else, and they generally want plain old Java.
“Nice” is one of those annoying names that makes it really hard to search for on Google. I wish people would think these things through.
Dude, VB.NET is the nice! ;^)
“The nice thing about the Perl programming langage is that it isn't Java.” ;)
I guess I'm just a poor googler! However, I was thinking more searches like “openid php” or “casting java”; “casting nice” (where the quotes here aren't part of the query) doesn't return anything to do with Nice or casting (in the programming sense). These aren't very realistic examples, but I must do loads of little queries like this all the time when I'm programming.
