Java, the Obsolete Language

Just read someone's post on why Java is becoming stupider. I have to agree. The industry always strives to build complexity. I have successfully stayed away so far from all the new language features of JDK 5 (they changed the name yet again to JSE instead of J2SE at this year's JavaOne). After developing Corernstone Framework G3 on JavaScript, I have been convinced more than ever that Java will not be my language of choice for the foreseeable future. I have already left the building so to speak. However, this is not to be confused with our continued use of JVM. See my earlier post on Java the language vs. JVM the platform.

Long live Java!
