James Gosling On The Sun/Microsoft Settlement
greg_barton writes "James Gosling has responded to the two previous commentaries cited on Slashdot about the Java Dilemma. Some interesting excerpts: "In Rick Ross's 'Where Is Java In This Settlement?' he worries that Sun may have sold out the Java community. We didn't. We have not sold our soul to the Dark Side." and "There's a long thread of discussion on Slashdot 'Two Takes on the Java Dilemma' that is pretty entertaining, from a wow, what are they smoking! point of view. There are voices of reason, and conspiracy nuts.""
since he's apparently overlooked the halloween memos from Microsoft stating that they would be causing as much disruption in the open source community as possible.
Wether the speculation is true or not, it's certainly not unfounded.
You misspelled fucking, fucker.
Mr. Gosling drank the cool-aid, liked it, and decided to make more for everybody else. Going by what I read before the "ugh, I'm reading a vapid CNet article" feeling came over me and I clicked the "<-" button, Gosling is taking over for his dear departed boss. Have fun, James, and don't forget to touch up your resume.
what an absolute pile of horse-shit.
Gosling's pandering to his corporate overloards -- "have a little faith". Please.
he was obviosly put up to this by Schwartz and Mcnealy: 'james, your a "techie". go teel the java zealots to ahve a little faith.
"ok, guys. will I get a carrot then? will I? will I?"
fuck Suna nd all they stand for
Why is this flamebait? Can you prove otherwise? The burden of proof is on you, slashfags.
That's because it was copy/pasted from the last sun/java article. He's probably either an anti-slash jihadist or a karmawhore.
I am in a gaming clan, i play games. I am one with the nerd.
With the announcement of this settlement and the death of its processor development Sun enters the DEC glidepath to oblivion.
If you stick a fork in it - today it will still scream but give it a year or so and its all over.
Linux and the AMD Opteron make them irrelevant.

Ten years ago there was an anouncement on usenet about some obscure "Thing" that was to "Change Everything"
Except that there was nothing that needed changing, just what already existed be made to work right in the first place.
I can remember the requirements to run java were obtuse and obscure at the time. Lo! Ten years later, It is still the truth!
(Um... well... yeah... java will run on most platforms, but only if you've bowed to the proper God and held your tounge just so, will any of it actually work in realtime?
No, you don't get it. I mean in really real time.
No.. No...No.. your fucking morons... I mean REALTIME.. Not "interrupt driven" bull shit, Real Time!
Sad fscking sacks.
