With HMTL 5, Javascript, and a fast VM, you can do a lot of damage nowadays.
And the problem with Java isn't technical. I have a couple of Sun certificates, use it every day, and know what it can do. The problem is that I don't want to depend on a company that doesn't even pretend to have customers and developers' best interests at heart.
- kyllo 13y agoOh, I'm not a fan of Oracle either. Who is? But I think you're confusing a language with a development platform/VM/runtime. C# is a language. .NET is a platform that includes a C# compiler. Java is a language. JVM is a platform that includes a Java compiler. Javascript is a language, not a platform. What Javascript platform do you think can replace .NET and JVM? Node.js on top of V8? Or are you really suggesting that Javascript inside a web browser is all you need for application development anymore?
- rubinelli 13y agoFrankly, I'm not sure. A stripped browser + Node.js sounds pretty compelling, but there are tons of projects using Javascript or offering Javascript bindings right now. It could be Qt 5, for example.
