Project Zero is being developed under an open development (but not open source) model, a first for IBM, as is the emphasis on the RESTful side of SOA & dynamic languages a first class development tool.

In the interview Jerry comments that while Java likely has "perhaps another good ten years" of life in her, in Zero they have given Java a promption: "Java is the system programming language now. Java is how you would implement some of the subtleties of ProjectZero, but your first experience and we hope the source of a lot of your agility is dynamic scripting", in Groovy or PHP (some tutorials have been published showing how to use Ruby as well).
