"In the best scenario imaginable for Oracle, it gets a little license money from Google and keeps Java under its control. But do you really, really think that will block the community or Google from leaving Java behind in the dust if necessary?"

I think the damage has already been done. Java will continue to be used for decades, but many developers are coming to the conclusion that it doesn't have much of a future. It will slowly become the new cobol.

  > It will slowly become the new cobol.

Which means that it may become lucrative to transition yourself into being a Java developer now rather than later.

Very poor piece. I didn't get anything more from the article than the headline already has.

Heartfelt though, and with the exposure Groklaw articles have, it's certain (?) to reach someone in Oracle.

I sincerely doubt that it'll make a difference, but it shouldn't be because no one told them differently.

Did PJ write that? It's not attributed, but didn't quite seem to be her style.
