"Father of Java" Resigns From Sun/Oracle

Thrashing Rage writes "James Gosling has confirmed he is leaving Sun/Oracle: 'Yes, indeed, the rumors are true: I resigned from Oracle a week ago (April 2nd). I apologize to everyone in St. Petersburg who came to TechDays on Thursday expecting to hear from me. I really hated not being there. As to why I left, it's difficult to answer: just about anything I could say that would be accurate and honest would do more harm than good. The hardest part is no longer being with all the great people I've had the privilege to work with over the years. I don't know what I'm going to do next, other than take some time off before I start job hunting.'"

Re:Not the best timing

[timmarhy]

some how i suspect the main developer behind one of the most influentual technologies of the decade isn't going to be standing in line behind you.

here's how it'll go. while you are queing for that entry level position, you'll see managment greeting him at recieption, shaking his hand and then taking him upstairs to talk with the big boys.
