They made billions of people access and use technology. Java was just a tool to help them achieve it. Sorry, your complaint is not really making sense here

- BoorishBears 9y agoIt’s like I have a brand that makes widgets and gives out the plans to our widgets. Larry finds plans to one of my old widgets and builds it into his awesome product and millions of people learn how to use the old version of my widget. But my old widget kind of sucks and I’ve been releasing new widgets that fix a lot of issues. Millions of people are gnashing their teeth over the old widget but Larry won’t update which version of my widget, he’s occasionally using parts of my new widget blueprint so now he’s creating Frankensteins of my widget that don’t even have a version. But they’re still my widgets, Larry calling them by my brand name, people are conflating them with my widget, people making tools for my widget now have two diverging targets. People are saying my widget sucks because of issues I fixed ages ago. It almost reminds me of J++ in a way, but with more subtlety.
