> Java never delivered on its promises Which promises? Write-once, run-anywhere? My last Java project lasted 15 months, during which time we had developers working on Windows and Mac, with production running CentOS. I can't recall one platform-specific bug we encountered. > The JVM cant even use 32GB of ram efficiently, and yet we can buy servers with 256GB of ram for 5K. I've used Java for line-of-business web applications, which seems to fit within Java's wheelhouse. I'd be terrified to work on any purchase order system that required a 32GB heap to run. On that project referenced above, we maximized the use of cheap, larger servers the way many companies do now -- by running several smaller VMs on them that each contain one application. > Java will not survive the next 10 years. Which is saying that Android will not survive the next 10 years as well?
