Interview With the Father of Java

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hot-brewed-programming-language dept.

Eh-Wire writes "The Globe & Mail interviews James Gosling after a keynote talk to Sun developers in his home town of Calgary. His thoughts and comments regarding the 'dead end' oil industry, disconnected Telco strategist, and unleashing 'creative weirdoes' makes for an interesting read." From the article: "Java is evolving. It's sort of embedded in the social experiment that is the Internet. There's been tremendous adoption of Java for building large-scale enterprise apps. It's worked tremendously well there. There's been all kinds of growth lately in cellphones and more and more embedded systems. It's all about making the environment around us more intelligent."

  1. Java is great for enterprise apps by Billly+Gates · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Its like of call-by-values for objects forcing you to do nothing but call by references are really great in tracking bugs for newbie programmers.

    And no child parent object support but rather super class and two layers of classes underneath it where you can't access methods in the super class after all 3 are created are great as well.

    Java is a perfect language that is nothing but a joy to stare out for hours and hours everday. ... Can't wait to get my CPA so I can leave the programming field... cries

      Logically I think the pink if because it just turned April 1st GMT, although I may have that backwards. In any case it also makes it near impossible to read people's user names against a gray background, so the majority of you have no idea that I am replying to myself.
