RE: Java is now dead. Microsoft Java (J++?) committed suicide -- MIDRANGE-L

Title: RE: Java is now dead

No personal offense to anyone, but who is to say what is dead and what isn't.

By the reasoning I've seen here in this thread, any language that MS doesn't use/support is dead. That's a lot of languages.

Does M$ have to go along with it to work? I thought that was the beauty of Java. Platform independance. But it seems that isn't the case. What a sad death for Java.

Ye of little faith.

MS indeed killed Java - they killed their own Java.

One of microsofts (mission?) statements in 1999 was to kill the cross platform language - Java.....

Not flocking?    What was expected? My goodness Java has been on the
radar for just 6 years and there is lots of it out there. Java is a
career choice, not some casual decision about what to do on Saturday
afternoon.

It is my opinion that Java has a good chance of being in this for the long
haul because the Microsoft fans are going to get tired of sudden changes,
product withdrawals, aborted paradigms, and $4,000 Certification courses
that have no value a few years hence. As time goes by managers will get
tired of the hamster wheel known as The Microsoft Solution and Java will
look like an old and trusted friend.

I don't disagree, but, Hans, would you elaborate
on some of these other reasons?
