The original promise of Java was cross-platform user-facing visual apps. (Which is why Gates was scared of it.) This promise certainly failed to deliver.
Instead Java is now Cobol 2.0, but nobody lost sleep over this fact.
- PaulHoule 5y agoThere was the idea that Java Beans would work like the COM model does for Visual Basic and it would be straightforward to build a GUI to build form GUIs. That never happened, but few visual UI builders have come close to what Visual Basic was in 1995. I liked JavaFX but I don't miss it.
