Wasn't java supposed to take over IT as the provider of top to bottom tools which every one would want or could not resist!?!?
IMHO Java is dying... slowly but surely. probably because microsoft split the java idea with their own Jscript and encouraged as many different java platforms, in order to discredit it in the long-run with fragmented developer/code bases. seems nowadays, everyone is rushing to support python... oh, I guess it has nothing to do with the fact that it is 100% open source. (sorry, I coudn't resist ;-) I hope MS does not do this with python, but I'm sure they are considering something. Is C# their answer to python and rebol ?? -MAx --- "You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun." > -----Original Message----- > From: "Robert M.
