Obviamente si la PUC es la cuna de LUA, es obvio que ellos "tendrán su corazoncito" y se concentrarán en Ginga-NCL más que en Ginga-J que es el trabajo de otra universidad separada (UFPB).
"Ginga specifications adopt the reference digital TV middleware
architecture ITU-T J.200. Thus, Ginga is divided into two main
integrated (bridged) subsystems, which allow the development of
applications following two different programming paradigms. Depending
on the required functionalities of an application project, one paradigm
will be more suitable than the other. Those subsystems are called
Ginga-J (for
Java applications) e
Ginga-NCL (for declarative
NCL
applications). Both implementation rely on a common core and are
bridged - Java applications may include NCL applications and vice-versa."

Cuando le pregunté allá por el 25 de Febrero al prof.
Luiz Fernando Gomes Soares de la PUC, me dijo:
---------------
"we consider Ginga-J our counterpart. First, we are
working together is UFPB in a free software Ginga-J, as soon it is ready, I
will fight for it as strongly as I fight for Ginga-NCL implementation.
Second and most important, JAVA IS PART of Ginga-NCL, we must never forget
that. In Ginga-NCL specification Java Xlet, called NCLet, is an important
media object, and Java was chosen mostly because it is open source. In
Ginga-NCL, Java and Lua are in the same level of importance and are the
chosen imperative languages. Note than that to talk about Ginga-NCL is to
talk about NCL, HTML, Java and Lua."

PD: Que algunos fabricantes de STBs tengan aparentemente buenas relaciones
con Microsoft Argentina me hace pensar que tal vez hay intereses comerciales para
impedir que Ginga-J sea una realidad en Argentina. Así como Microsoft
impulsó HD-DVD con Toshiba principalmente para impedir que se
estableciera Bluray con su BD-J (aplicaciones Java corriendo desde un
disco bluray), por suerte sin éxito, tengo todo el derecho a sospechar
que si se deja afuera Ginga-J no es pura casualidad. Pero esto, es, claro, solo una sospecha.
