I think that mucks with the timeline of most of these languages. Weren't a good many of them started under Sun's reign. (And you left out clojure.) Not to mention you are ignoring the vast progress MS has made in language design in the .NET world. It isn't shocking that many in the JVM world finally started realizing that, yes, Java has stagnated heavily for a long time now. It isn't beyond hope, per se. Just very stagnate. -- 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].
