James: I’m not sure if Zimbra uses them in the way I’m thinking, primarly running JavaScript on the server side. Now, that said, using it on the client side really is part of it as well.
Berkay: that’s exactly the sort of thing I’m talking about. I’ll look into it further if possible. Would you be available to record a podcast about that? It’d be great to get Charles and you on the line together to compare notes.

For whatever it’s worth, we use java and dynamic languages (javascript and groovy) for both applications we ship, and they play a critical role.
Being able to execute dynamic language scripts from the java code in the same VM, provides maximum flexibility in the field. Functionality of the products can be easily tweaked to meet the requirements of each customer without requiring use of complicated configuration files (that become a language of their own) or proprietary languages.
We are able to handle the infrastructure (the muck) in java, taking advantage of all the benefits of mature language and development environment and let the business logic be expressed in a dynamic language.
As I see it, being able to use the dynamic languages along with java within a JVM brings us best of both worlds, and is crucial for our needs.
