Nashorn - Running Javascript Dynamically from Java
Last night we talked about running Javascript dynamically from Java. Java 8 includes Nashorn. Adam Davis describes Nashorn in his new book on Java 8:

"Nashorn replaces Rhino as the default JavaScript engine for the Oracle JVM. Nashorn is much faster since it uses the invokedynamic feature of the JVM. It also includes a command line tool (jjs)"

I've played around with calling JavaScript from within Java -- but only really on toy projects. Would be interesting to hear peoples real world use cases deployed to production.
