How Much Java in the Linux World?
jg21 writes "Java is 'incredibly heavily used' in the Linux community, according to Sun's James Gosling, one of Java's co-creators. Gosling was debating Stanford's Lawrence Lessig, Apache co-founder Brian Behlendorf, IBM's Rod Smith, and others at JavaOne this week about the possible merits of open-sourcing Java vs the market's demand for continuing compatibility. But Behlendorf seemed not to agree. So who was right, how many Slashdotters are also Java users? Is "incredibly heavily used" an overstatement by Gosling, who after all helped create the language and therefore might be biased?"
IN SOVIET UNION Java uses you!! and uses you up heavily! Damn JVM !
What is best in life? To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Some other advice I would offer would be to actually not insult people in a public forum. You might not be prepared for the consequences.
After some thought, I'm rather troubled by this statement. I admit I was a bit rude in my comments, and I am sorry for it, but this is part of the nature of public forums.
What is NOT acceptable is threats, as in your statement, although its hard to see what the possible consequences could be (except for people being rude back to me!).
