After a long hiatus, BeanShell3 is back on schedule.
OMG blast from the past!
This was unexpected
OMG!
This website is the most soulful thing I've seen today.
I finally can release my badly design projects from my graveyard, which will convience propspect users of the effort I put into it.
Who tinkled in your corn-flakes?
I will remember today with a smile in face as the day I met Beany[0].
[0] https://beanshell.github.io/beany.html
"Beany can be bad" "LGPL"
I mean, LGPL isn't THAT bad, but made me chuckle.
That needs to be updated... Beany is ALv2 :)
Hell yeah, I loved beanshell! We used to use it in Android development to give our apps a debug repl, telnet-style. It was so nice, if antiquated even back then. Excited to see this worthy project continue.
Which projects still use BeanShell? I have not heard of BeanShell since... idk 2012? or something, who is maintaining it as well, I would hope someone didn't just fork it and Oracle owns the rights to it somehow? Was Sun fully involved with BeanShell? I don't recall some of this.
Love seeing old projects come back to life though.
A fairly large community of people use MicroManager to run and automate microscopes, which is an extremely overgrown ImageJ plugin.
jEdit uses BeanShell and appears to still be alive.
Beh, i used to use Java all the time for a bunch of stuff (mainly desktop tools and the like) but after Oracle bought it my interest to it dropped like a rock and remained on the ground after the whole Oracle vs Google circus :-P.
Nowadays i still avoid any languages primarily backed by some large corporation.
"Beanly was created with The Gimp"
I can tell.
Interesting I never heard of this. That site feels straight out of 1999.
More details in the CHANGELOG: https://github.com/beanshell/beanshell/blob/main/CHANGES.md
I used BeanShell for a few projects years ago, but with JShell and the ability run a Java program directly from a source file, I have no reason to use BeanShell again. What does BeanShell3 offer over what's currently available?
