The comparison with OpenSolaris is invalid.
Java is really useful and uniquely so.
Solaris is an also ran.
Oracle's pulling out would not be enough to kill the project. Mozilla could easily take it on.
- atemerev 9y agoOpenSolaris was really useful and innovative, too. I am happy that ZFS and Dtrace found their way to Linux (though not without some issues), however, I would rather prefer the whole package.
- khitchdee 9y agoOpenSolaris :: Linux NEQ OpenJDK :: C#/.NET or ROR or any other language + SDK.
- jcranmer 9y agoWhy would Mozilla take on OpenJDK? Mozilla's mission is about the web, and Java is no longer a major part of the web.
- khitchdee 9y agoIn terms of scope OpenJDK would be comparable to Mozilla's mission. So even if Mozilla didn't grow to take it on, a similar sized org could. The point being open source specific Mozilla pattern orgs rather than private corps.
