Ok then go back to Java. What value accrued to Sun by creating and marketing Java? Sorry to use the word "startup" as I suppose it is easily misunderstood. The creation of the language and its libraries and tools was to a certain extent an entrepreneurial act, in my opinion, whether it was understood this way by Sun at the time.
I am trying to ask assistance in thinking about the origination of whole languages or even just major language features within existing features in a coherent way, economically. I am attempting to ask the right questions about language development as a way to leverage capital and add value, not just to look at programming languages from the end-user's point of view.
