Fortress........succesor to Java????

If you look at the various programming languages that we use today, most of them were designed for earlier generations of machines. Though, Microsoft has responded beautifully by introducing .NET and languages based on .NET, others are much behind.

Sun Lab is working on a language which could be potentially successor of Java, called as ‘Fortress’ to solve problems for application development for high-performance computing. Parallel computing is supported in this language. Its syntax is based on mathematical notation. It has language constructs such as for-next loops are parallelizable.

Should you want more information on this, you can download the binaries from
