Probably the reason for this is the Java hype. People suddenly 
realize that there are more languages in this world than just FORTRAN. 

There are even some people who think that Java will be the future in
numerical computing (see http://www.javagrande.org/).

I dont know if this is true - I just hope it and wait for things to happen.
