But what if Oracle ports its Java Virtual Machine to Java 1.6? There is support for pluggable script languages in Java 1.6 (http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/scripting/). So, if Oracle makes a script language version of PL/SQL (PL/SQL/S ?), in what cases it would be better to normal PL/SQL?
