There is simply really too much alternative JVM languages to choose from... to the point people like me who is interested in learning an alternative JVM language have great difficulties figuring out which to start first. Therefore, my decision currently would be to completely ignore learning anymore new JVM languages and simply stick to my usual Ruby (currently learning) and Java language I currently know.

The decision to stick to Ruby is because JVM supports JRuby and Ruby is rather well known nowadays. Ruby's syntax is interesting to me as well.

Oracle introduces commercial JVM

Finally, Oracle has introduced a commercial and a free JVM. It's no more one free JVM but a commercial and a free version. What is the mission of Java ? To be cross-platform. Now you have to handle Java for the free and the commercial variant. Nice job, Oracle. You just pulled the trigger on the once free and venerable Java + JVM.

PasswordStore

I have attempted to create a password manager and this project, PasswordStore, is a casual password manager software project.

Look out for the latest release at: http://cid-5dddb088a8f2c7bc.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public%20Folder/PasswordStore

You would notice that the file numbers are by dates e.g. 11102009 which means 11th October 2009. It goes by DDMMYYYY format. In it, it might contain release numbers since I may make multiple releases per day.

How do you run them ? Unzip them and just double click on the 'PasswordStore.jar' file and it would run for most system with Sun Java JVM installed (Java 1.6 required !).
