Flavio Glock On Perl, Java, Compilers And Virtual Machines

 An interview with Flavio Glock that takes as its starting point his brand new project, PerlOnJava, a native compiler that turns Perl into Java bytecode and runs it. 

We've interviewed Flavio a couple of times before on his previous project, Perlito. Perlito is a compiler collection that implements a subset of Perl 5 and Perl 6 and compiles Perl 5 or Perl 6 programs into various backends, including JavaScript, Python, Ruby and Go. But it was also designed with extensibility from the ground up so it could be extended to other backends further along the line. That point came about 7 years ago with the new backend being that of Java.

Greenplum's Cloudberry Fork Enters Apache Incubator

  Cloudberry is the open source equivalent of Greenplum. Now it is fostered by the Apache Foundation as it acquires incubating status. It all began about six months ago. Greenplum's Github repositories was archived and went dark. This meant no more free new releases or security and bug fixes for its users. Why? Because in May 2024, Tanzu made the decision to close-source the project. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/17694-greenplums-cloudberry-fork-enters-apache-incubator-.html
