I sent Greg Trasuk a private note asking him to cease and desist on public badgering and instead to just step back and let the community vote on what happens with River, as that is the process that is supposed to work. I suggested that if he had a plan and members to vote that plan through, that he could have things however he wanted. I really do not appreciate his attitude and lack of appreciation for the experience and expertise that others have which is different from his own. I don’t want to badger or belittle him in any way. But, we need to use this process and work through issues by using our brains and our experiences both. The “web” as we know it, is “mobile code” just like Jini uses. Javascript won, because it was controlled by the browser camp, not by Sun. Applets were in the browser first, but the size of PCs memory and computational resources were no where near mature enough for Java to have won. I know, I tried to deploy lots of Java in Applets and applications in that time, to the desktop, but there was just not enough money spent on desktop machines in the enterprises where my customers were. I am, hopefully going to get back out of the .Net world and back into Java and Jini again, this coming year. I am looking forward to that!
