part4 – Ted Neward
summary
Argues that the next five years focus on new languages because compiling to Java bytecode buys garbage collection, serialization, RMI, class loaders and threads for free, letting designers explore new abstractions; points to concrete tools that make language work practical: Antlr and parser combinators for front ends, DLR for runtime support, and javasist/asm/bcel for bytecode generation; claims legacy choices like EJB failed because they forced an object model onto transaction problems.
