JVM Language Job Trends
I thought it would be interesting to see what the job scene looks like for the various JVM languages out there. The languages I chose to feature on my Indeed.com trend chart were Groovy, JRuby, Jython, Rhino, Scala and Clojure. The order in which I listed them is the order I figured they would be in, with Groovy being the highest and Clojure being the lowest. Based on the results below, I was correct on the highest and lowest. However, its the results in the middle that are the most interesting. Jython is neck and neck with Groovy for the top spot. JRuby is second to last and in decline. Scala looks to be on the rise. Can we trust these results as a barometer for the future of these languages on the JVM? Let me know what you think.

Toodle-Li-Do, Toodle-Li-Dum
I have finally found a satisfying to-do list solution for my iPod Touch. Its called ToodleDo. For $3.99 ToodleDo has an iPhone/Touch application that can sync up to a ToodleDo basic (free!) Web account. I’ve been looking for this since I got my Touch over a year ago.
