It didn't look to have much life left in it at the time (about 6 years ago) but seems to have struggled on to become an actively supported project. Quite a handy little prototyping langauge.Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?Comment

It seems to be supported quite strongly for WebSphere to the point that JACL is being deprecated. Started to use it but seeing as I know no Java or Python things went a bit strangeOriginally posted by voodooflux View PostWHS
