Forking Java, not a good idea at the moment
- wccrawford 16y agoHe goes on and on about how to do a successful fork, but doesn't explain why this doesn't apply to Java, or why 'the moment' isn't a good time for a fork. I suspect he is trying to say that there isn't a giant, perfect council ready to lead Java into freedom. Well, there never will be, unless someone creates it. There's no reason why it couldn't be created right now.
- DjDarkman 16y agoAnyone is free to create an independent Java fork... well at least as long as Oracle doesn't sue. For this reason I find Java to be a highly unreliable technology in legal terms.
