Sleep: Perl on Java

I see amusing situation in evolution of programming languages. While Perl, PHP and Python try to extend thier functionality to reach Java (key word ‘class’ and ‘extend’ in PHP, for example), Java goes back to level of scripting languages. As exaple, you can see Sleep Scripting Project which is similar to Perl by ideology but based on Java.
Now Java developers can produce some console Java applications easier than before (many bad words were said about Java becase to create a simple programm ‘Hello World!’ a programmer should write more than two rows of code). Have a look an article “Perl on Java? An Introduction to the Sleep Language” which is an introduction in Sleep. Probably, it’ll suit for you 😉
Personally, I don’t like Java and I don’t think that I’ll change my mind 🙂 But who knows…
