Nope, I simply claim that it solves a great many problems in the Java language, that companies are using it in production, and that it's growing in popularity. World domination comes later. The world is littered with examples of superior technologies that failed to get adoption. I'd like to think we live in a more enlightened age, where the internet allows people to investigate and to make the right choices. Perhaps we can then avoid repeating history, maybe this time round, the betamaxes of the JVM can succeed against the VHSes. I should hate for nothing more than popularity to once again be the only deciding factor. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
