I love lines that say so much with so little. Well said.
Java was the right language at the right time. That's why it was so successful.
- Pxtl 9y ago> Java was the right language at the right time. That's why it was so successful. any moderately-usable language with a free, cross-platform compiler and a full batteries-included library for everything and support for every major platform and a major vendor pushing it and the kind of global marketing PR (The Official Programming Language of Canada!) would have seen the same success as Java at the time. The quality of the language design itself was "passable" at best, but that's all it needed to be with the forces it had pushing it and the market conditions at the time.
