I remember reading this article in my high school computer lab. This is a perfect example of journalistic hubris that has only gotten worse in recent years. Rather than a non-sensational headline Cliff Edwards speaks as if he has a crystal ball. This happens all the time - looking at HN right now I see the sensationalist "RIP Java, 1995-2010" (6 points) and a more humble "Analysts: Oracle vs. Google May Hurt Future of Java as Dev Platform" (28 points). I'm happy that people seem to be up voting the latter. Kudos for posting this, hopefully it will show that headlines like this tend to make people look stupid in hindsight.
