Trouble Ahead for Java

Posted by michael on from the spill-proof-container-needed dept.

Javaland has erupted! This is a little like Bill Gates wondering out loud whether to send Scott McNealy a Christmas card. But is Alan Williamson right? Read this short article and decide for yourself."

    I couldn't really care Java Dies and C# takes control of that market. Java and its clones (C#)will still be disabled whenever I browse the net. If you aren't going to use it, who cares?
