A reminder that the 2012 JVM Language Summit is happening July 30–August 1, 2012 in Santa Clara, CA. The JVM Language Summit is an open technical collaboration among language designers, compiler writers, tool builders, runtime engineers, and VM architects, sharing their experiences as creators of programming languages for the JVM, and of the JVM itself. Non-JVM developers are welcome to attend or speak on their runtime, VM, or language of choice. About 70 language and VM implementers attended last year—and over one third presented.

What’s at the JVM Language Summit?

• Three days of technical presentations and conversations about programming languages and the JVM.
• Prepared talks by numerous visiting language experts, OpenJDK engineers, and other Java luminaries.
• Many opportunities to visit and network with your peers.
• Da Vinci Machine Project memorabilia.
• Dinner at a local restaurant, such as last year’s Faultline Brewing Company.
• A chance to help shape the future of programming languages on the JVM.

Space is limited: This summit is organized around a single classroom-style room, to support direct communication between participants. To cover costs, there is a nominal conference fee of $100. Learn more.
