Man if you're doing higher load systems or lots of data, having a garbage collector that doesn't crap out on you
and doesn't require so much guess/check tuning is soooooo nice.
Of course I'm sure when I try the JRockit 1.5 VM it'll kick the crap out of Sun's all over again. What I've read makes it
look very good. Sadly, since Intel actually writes the thing we won't see it out for Solaris (which still kicks the crap out of
Linux I'm afraid). Though with increasingly permissive licensing for the JDK (it may even be possible to look at it without
swearing non-compete for eternity) and Open Solaris, it may be possible to actually fix these bugs for the broader Java community.
Scwartz is even hinting that Java may one day be open source too! This would be so sweet and make too much sense to be reality.

Can I just say... the new language features in Java 1.5 are sooooo nice!
I'm coding my first project to 1.5 and the new for loop and generics are just brilliant IMHO.
Defining Iterators and casting objects out of collections is such drudgery. The new for loop and generics make that all go away... I'm incredibly pleased!
