I also should point out, as you did, that Java was pivotal in moving from an enterprise software model to an open, modern web model.<br /><br />The number of frameworks that has grown around the web is nothing short of astonishing. Yet, all these frameworks seem to converge to greater attention being given to cross-platform instead of less. "Platform-specific" has almost become sort of a curse word, an uncomfortable "someone will handle this" footnote in world-domination plans.<br /><br />Java's cross platform seed ideas, in one way or another, are present in the fabric of the web. And the web has found ways to go around the limitations of Java (and its tendency to be the One Hammer to Rule Them All). Some ways are good, some are bad, as everything.<br /><br />MS, on the other hand, should really think about the benefits of running in Linux. The types of benefits that spring from that are orders of magnitude more important than say, "deciding to use another Javascript framework for your product". These are huge low-level gains here, and they should be taken by someone who can.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03533752744077665922noreply@blogger.com
