BeanShell3 Is Back After a Long Hiatus, and Developers Are Thrilled
BeanShell3 in Development
The BeanShell scripting language for Java is in development again, and the Hacker News thread is full of nostalgia. Developers recall using it in Android apps as a telnet-style debug REPL, calling it antiquated but beloved. The project's website drew praise as soulful, and the original poster confirmed BeanShell3 is back on schedule after a long pause.
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.
