I think this is unfair. Design by committee does not work, at least not
well enough. Who remembers PL/I which was to take over from COBOL, or OSI
with its 7 layer communications protocol stack, blown away by good enough
TCP/IP? Even CORBA, dare I say it, needs Java to save it.
And if Sun really had their own server primarily in mind when designing
EJB, how come NetDynamics is an also-ran instead of a market leader?
We all love Java. If it needs a few people (me included) to feel their
ideas aren't being taken into account properly in order to make Java a
success so be it. At least the way Sun is doing it is better than the old
IBM way, or the current you-know-who way.**
