doesn't matter. Ewin summed up how people look at pretty much anything Sun does to Java these last several years. It's all hype and marketing driven nonsense, implemented in flawed and halfhearted fashion, doomed to failure because the people implementing it don't even themselves believe in what they're doing.
As a result people are sticking with what works, 1.4 and to a degree 1.5, while gaining proficiency in things like .NET so they have an exit strategy when the ship finally sinks.
Sun's attitude is loosing them the very people they need most, the experienced professionals, because of their constant hammering to get more inexperienced kids eager to try every new hype to jump onto the bandwagon, kids who will just as readily jump off again when something "new" appears on the horizon, something like Scala, Flex, Silverlight, or whatever. |
