Java Creator left Oracle

Interesting reading:
Java Creator left Oracle.

Good luck to James Gosling, and I am not sure if Java is in good hands of Oracle.

But Java (in 1996) was such great thing... new programming language out of frustration and ugliness of C++.

But yikes, Java has grown some big and hairy. Come on, languages shouldn't need all the changes. May I say... things like annotations MESS UP the elegance of Java. I would even say templates (generics) are not needed. I don't buy a whole lot with a foreach loop either.

Unfortunately, Java itself is not useful enough.

One needs WebServices/Spring/Hibernate/crazy XMLs to find work if there is any out there.

Perhaps Microsoft wants to hire Gosling?
