Casper bashes everything Java related: the language, the JVM, Swing, Maven, the IDEs and raves about everything Microsoft related: NET, C#, Mono, Anders is his hero, etc. All this on a Java group. And then complains about bias and FUD because not everyone shares his perspective. The Mono team openly bashes Java, for example, and they are not fair or making the slightest attempt at being balanced or reasonable or respectful. I think this group is far more tactful and respectful about their opinions and innate bias. Maybe because this group doesn't have a product to sell.
Each camp (JVM/.NET) should emulate and learn from the strengths of the other. JVM needs to catch up with native application deployment that Mono brought to the .NET ecosystem. JavaFX is catching up with native Mac OS deployment and has plans for Linux and iOS. I hope this extends to Java Swing and OpenGL apps and non-Java languages. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
