I'm not so sure this will happen. Java extentions for Perl make a lot of sense to me given that IBM is working on a similar thing for REXX and Microsoft appears to be going in that direction as well with MFC. Untill a truly intelligent design interface comes bouncing down the pike I don't think anyone can rest on thier laurels and make set the standard.
