I think it's a crying shame the Java space has been so conservative, to this day I still don't get why we Sun/Oracle didn't go all in with a lean next-gen replacement to remain relevant and give C# some competition. The bulk of the remaining talent pool in the Java space seems to revolve around Android, which we have the courts word for isn't even technically Java. Gone from this mainsteam Java space are Neal Gafter, Guy Steele, Gilad Bracha, Joshua Bloch, Martin Odersky, Bill Venners, Michael Nygard, Mads Torgersen, Peter von der Ahé etc. Even SpringSource's Rod Johnson just joined Scala. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
