The best thing to ever happen to the software world was Oracle buying Sun and consequently Java.
Java was great at its time but then had to go. Oracle gaining control over them sped up this process.

- UltraSane 2mo agoWhat are you trying to say?
- stanac 2mo agoI think they are saying Java is dead?! Not sure how else to interpret the comment. If that's the case I have to disagree. There are probably billions of lines of Java in enterprise, it will never die.
- UltraSane 2mo agoJava is still very popular and even being used for new projects.
- chasd00 2mo agomy standard Java analogy is it's like a garbage truck. Java is out there every day doing a job that's absolutely critical but rarely, if ever, in the lime light.
