I also think that all these will be around for a good while and probably when Java gets the COBOL status probably .Net will become either. ;-) > I was also flirting with the idea of getting into Games development. > Nothing may come of that but that space is dominated by C++. > If I did decide I wanted to go into that field I doubt I would be > doing much Java. Of course, it depends on the job where the focus is. A driver developer also wouldn't be THE Java developer. On the other hand, some people don't stop to argue that Java is only for big enterprises... - people spreading out such phrases contribute to the "Java is dying myth"... >-( -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
