It's time to rewrite Java from scratch, security expert says
- reirob 14y agoWhen seeing this title and before reading the article I had the reaction: "This is already done. Google already rewrote Java. For Androi." Now after reading the article I can quote: "Now is a good time to rewrite some core components from scratch and insure that they're bug-free, rather than patching the application from one version to another," Botezatu said." So it about to rewrite SOME core components and NOT to rewrite Java completely from scratch.
- gus_massa 14y agoEven if you rewrite them from scratch, you probably would still have (new) bugs, and some minor corner cases incompatibilities that would break the old user code.
