Sun continues to support open source by putting its money where its mouth is, in ways both large and small. You may have missed it in all the clamor about their $1 billion purchase of MySQL, but this past week Sun also made some moves to lend support to the Python-on-Java project Jython.

How so? They did this by hiring ex-Chander developer Ted Leung and Jython maintainer Frank Wierzbicki to work full-time on dynamic languages at Sun.
