Normally I'm not especially enthusiastic about doing another round of java bashing, or another revival of an old (but good) PG article. But there is one last prediction here that has become very relevant in the past few months:
"Its daddy is in a pinch... If Sun runs into trouble, they could drag Java down with them."
Hard not to hear an echo of this prediction from 2001 when reading about Apache's decision to drop out of the JCP.
- haploid 16y agoMany of us who use Java on a daily basis don't really care about the Apache/JCP soap opera. It's a fun little sideshow, but it doesn't matter. Wicket is pretty much the only apache java project that holds any value, anyway. And they didn't start out as an apache project.
