I beg to differ. The world is chaotic and full of ad-hoc mutations, that's where the really interesting stuff goes on - in fact, that's the very essence of evolution! Look at how JavaScript, a NetScape bastard language based on Java, revolutionized the web experience. It's horrible to maintain, adheres to no single standard - yet practically beats Flash, Silverlight and Java/JavaFX Script. If I had the choice between a bastardized, but innovate solution from Google; over a standardized, but legacy solution, then I'd go for the former. The droves of new Android developers kind of proves that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
