I think java is a bunch of hypey crap. I hate the language. The UI is dated... I tried to learn it, but it was too hard for this seasoned C/C++/javascript developer. Not enough was the same, but enough I was the same to let me think I knew it.
But things completely changed. I hope that we'lll get the CLI that<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.Net has - So I can compile my C/C++/python/php code into a module and link it in without platform/compiler issues.
This alone would set a revolution in motion. We'd have standard "assemblies" (not to borrow from MS, but it is a good term) that will be the foundation for computing. We'll have a completely cross-platform platform. My life as a developer will be good.
This unfortunately will steal some wind from the sails of Linux. Linux's charm is it is the same on all platforms (well close enough to not matter much at all). Window's NT kernel is stable 'enough'. We'll kill off the drive for linux on the desktop.
One of my dreams is running KDE on my NT kernel box. I can do it now via Cygwin, but it is dreadfully slow. Having<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.net'ized java will allow KDE on one runtime. OSS apps will blossom, and so will stability (cause most crashes are app crashes). Linux will stall on the desktop with this ne found stability. Linux on the server will continue though because cpu cyles count more there.
I forsee my dream coming true. I'll have 'linux' on windows with completely working WINE - because it is no longer emulated, it just is. I won't have to worry about drivers, since I'll be using the winnt drivers.
Indeed EVERYONE even MS stands to benefit. But MS will have a price.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.Net will die. Without having the openness, they won't have the adoption. As I read today, MS is hemmoraging. It's only going to get worse. Dump your MS stock now, buy IBM and Sun.
