Very difficult to find a "conventional name" that doesn't get misunderstood by some community! |
Java has potential to be a better environment for "Grande application development" than any previous languages such as Fortran and C++ |
The Forum Goal is to develop community consensus and recommendations for either changes to Java or establishment of standards (frameworks) for "Grande" libraries and services |
These Language changes or frameworks are designed to realize "best ever Grande programming environment" |
Activities involve "Working with Outside Community" (e.g. Floating Point Rules and RMI)
