Java will never die. For other programming language, they are really excited about new features on next major version. Like PHP3 to PHP4. For Java, most of us don’t care as much after Java 5. What I’m saying is that Java isn’t just Java. I look at it as a massive third party code that works on Java. Anything I can think of is already done by millions of people and often offer multiple solutions to solve a problem. It gives you CHOICES where other new and hip languages lack. I’m not saying those languages are bad or not fit for business but code quality comes from a programmer and not what programming language he uses. For me, I’ll stick w/ Java for long time~~ Not because it’s OO or other marketing stuff. It’s for all open source that runs ONLY w/ Java.

There are always ‘Know it all’ programmers. I hope for everyone here you do not have to work for a Crusader with a bug up their a… It will diminish your growth, take much joy out of the work, hurt teams and the ability to work together. I work with people who respect and learn from each other. It is the best job I have had in years. I have suffered working with fat heads and I am particularly opposed to the “shock’ statements that come from MT. Olympus. What is dead or should be dead is the fat head know it all in an industry where no one knows it all.

Actually it’s pretty accurate, or do you profess to have been along whereever I went and saw one clusterfuck after another to do with Java? Seriously, because I haven’t seen you peeking over my shoulder, so that kinda creeps me out.

What a negative reply, off point, insulting, inaccurate, and rediculous.

I think java will gain even more momentum with JDK8 when Java will also support closures. Will take quite a while till the average Joe java developer will grasp the power and ease of using closures. But then the masses will somewhen understand closures and like them as all those people did doing Smalltalk, Ruby, Groovy, Scala, etc.

I disagree with the intent and content of Mr James T (Tiberius, Thomas, Tomatoe?) Thomas ‘expose’.

I’ve worked for companies that used Java and Eclipse and I found that it usually was a clusterfuck, and that if you took away a Java programmers Eclipse, said programmer just became an inert hunk of protein without any productivity whatsoever (although even with Eclipse some programmers, especially Java programmers tend to be active hunks of protein with a negative productivity quotient).
