For me personally, a person whom went to university and learned c/c++, java, assembly etc etc learning a language and learning how to code is two different things which is why I would have to agree that people either understand the problem at hand (what a OS/coding is) or wanting to put the time in to learn the problem.
I still use allot of languages in my day-to-day living, and find each language as interesting and useful as the next in its own context, but to say that Java is damaging students I would have to disagree, it is the students that want to learn or have the ability to learn about what the course/class they are doing, not one language can text a student that is not willing or unable to grasp the fundamentals of what coding/OS etc is. IMHO
just wondering, is Sun actually planning on altering the licences ? or was it just a purchase ? for my the mysql database and extras are prefect and would not want to change to another database because of licence issues. Or is Sun just trying to cheese of Oracle etc.. I found this a interesting read http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/01/16/sun-mysql_1.html
