As a young developer, I always wondered why Google didn't buy Java from Sun. Wouldn't it be a strategic buy?
- mistrial9 4y agogoogle is literally the next generation Sun, many of the same people were involved.. the Sun Micro company was scrapped for (valuable) parts, with a lot of internal competitive moments
- airstrike 4y agoNot sure what to make of that, but I'm just glad we don't live in a world in which Google + Java is the winning horse
- nunobrito 4y agocough Android coughh +2.5 billion Google Android devices running their apps overwhelmingly in Java. Wasn't a coincidence this was chosen that way.
- letsdothisagain 4y agoGoogle wasn't a big player when Oracle bought sun. Don't ever underestimate them. There is a reason Oracle of all companies is the government's pick to annex Tiktoc.
