Or RPG!! Agreed!!

However the question will be, how much does it cost to keep using Java if, and only if, Oracle gets crazy and starts asking for licensing fees. As Joe pointed out, lots of smoke, but like with all fires that are very smoky, once the ventilation starts and fresh air gets to the source of the heat, the fire pops up with a vengeance. FUD yes, but a topic to keep an eye on. If I were a software vendor getting ready to start a new project, I would think twice about Java at this point. It'll be several years before this gets decided.
