In terms of GDP per capita, I live in one of the lowest income counties in a state that is well below the national average. I'm not sure if many of the points made in this article would be felt so viscerally by someone living in SF mak

I've got a branch of Nashorn (Oracle's Javascript runtime which will be included in OpenJDK 8) modified to build with Java 7. It passes 100% of the ECMA-262 test suite and you can grab it at http://github.com/furosys/nashorn Nashorn would
