The document summarizes talks from a technology conference on versatile Java and dynamic languages. It discusses projects from Sun/Oracle like the Multilanguage VM and InvokeDynamic for improving performance of dynamic languages on the JVM. It also mentions frameworks and tools like JRuby, Groovy, Spring, JavaFX, Drools, and cloud computing platforms.

Versatile Java - JVM 2 Talks from JRuby co-lead Suns Charles Nutter The Multilanguage VM -t he Java platform is changing MLVM / Da Vinci Machine - Sun project to prototype the extension of the JVM to add support for dynamic languages. JRuby/Groovy up to 10 times slower (micro benchmarks) due to heavy reflection use JSR-292 "InvokeDynamic to bring dynamic language speed closer to 2/3 times of Java ValueObjects (Java 8) OpenJDK
