RIP Java, 1995-2010
- wolfrom 16y agoIsn't comparing Oracle to SCO coming close to showing that Java will die just as quickly as Linux?
- cstross 16y agoNo, it's showing that Java will die just as quickly as UNIX. (Specifically the bastardized offshoot of SVR4.2 for IA32 that SCO were selling.) It is a really bad idea to sue people who use your products -- onlookers may get entirely the wrong idea and start crossing the street to avoid you.
- keefe 16y agoI wonder if it's actually possible google forked some code they shouldn't have? I think using java and writing your own vm are quite different cases.
