How sad :(

Java had such great promise.  Java was *supposed* to be immune to all
this.  Instead, due to the realities of market pressures and the
scourge of poor design and coding, Java has become at least as bad a
word in the I.T. community as ActiveX -- possibly worse.

Plus it's a PITA to code in, has horrible load times, and "write
once, run anywhere" never did become fully real.

It was bad enough under Sun.  Now that Oracle owns it, I think it's
doomed.

Jim
