for now. This is really common and banal. Boring....
We're building on the shoulders of giants here, and I think it
would be nice to honor those that came before us. Here's a list of
great people in the history of Java who I'd love to honor, as many
are my heros :
1) "Hamilton" (Graham, The Enforcer)
2) "Bloch" (Josh, API hero)
3) "Gafter" (Neil, API hero)
4) "Bracha" (Gilad, VM hero)
5) "Click" (Cliff Click, hotspot hero)
6) "Gingel" (Rob, Chief Engineer, and guy who grokked OSS)
7) "Detlefs" (David, GC hero)
8) "Lindholm" (Tim, VM spec guy)
9) "Yellin" (Frank, VM spec guy)
For the clue-impaired, this was a joke... These are all living
people, so we wouldn't do it...
(I do admire them all, though)
