Well, I remember a few years ago when this guy named Bruce Tate wrote this interesting little book called "Beyond Java". It sparked a debate in TSS that was (and most likely is) the single most responded to post. The short message was; Java got us to a place that we couldn't have gotten to any other way and now that we're here, how do we go even farther. It is a question that we never will and never should stop asking. So far the answer has been, well, lets look at what the other guys are doing and if it makes sense drag it back into Java. Eventually, that tactic will fall over on it's self and then we'll really have to answer the question, what is beyond Java.
