Just read the press release about JavaScript
(http://java.sun.com/pr951204-03.html).
Cool!

But would anyone at Sun care to comment about this stuff?  I seem to recall 
that at Java Day, during the question-and-answer session, someone asked 
about the possibility of Sun creating a scripting language based on Java.  
And the answer was that this would not be done, because Java is (to 
paraphrase) "so easy that a scripting language is not needed".  That was 
what, a month ago?  Things certainly are changing fast...
