Java Creator James Gosling Hired At Google

jfruhlinger writes "Some months after leaving Oracle in a huff, father of Java James Gosling has joined Google. It's not clear what his job responsibilities will be there, but given some of his past statements about Google projects — that Android has no adult supervision, for instance — it will be interesting to see what develops."

I would have expected Bill Gates to have a much, much lower Slashdot number.

Maybe Google thought things were just moving too quickly.

Still in the News?

Why is this guy still in the news?
I get it - he's a douche, and his wife Kate is an overbearing bitch, and all they both care about is making money (over $1,000,000 per episode) off of their litter.
Who cares if their kids get psychologically ruined? I mean, it's not like they had a chance to become productive, sane members of society with those two as parents anyway.
In a perfect world, they'd be in jail and the kids would be adopted.

But no, now this guy is being given a cushy job at Google, for what? Java?
Please, that's what Amazon Mechanical Turk is for.

I do. And frankly, I prefer eclipse to Visual Studio.

No, they probably asked him the difference between Final, Finally and Finalize in Java...
