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.

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.
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?
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].

"Beany can be bad" "LGPL"
I mean, LGPL isn't THAT bad, but made me chuckle.
That needs to be updated... Beany is ALv2 :)

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.

"Beanly was created with The Gimp"
I can tell.
Interesting I never heard of this. That site feels straight out of 1999.
