INTERNALMEMOS.COM has a nifty article written by a colleciton of Sun Software engineers about the inappropriateness of Java on the Solaris platform. I think it illustrates how businesses fail to succeed because of their inability to prioritize properly on reliable rather than glitzy software. I rather like the Java language and would
almost certainly choose it for new projects if the implementations were up to par. I vow only to use languages which provide good implementations on a wide number of platforms, and by all accounts, Java isn’t quite their yet.
