HP joins the effort to build a tower of Babel.

From today's Santa Barbara News Press:

"PALO ALTO Hewlett-Packard Co., widening an industry breach, on Friday said it will produce its own version of the Java software programming language developed by Sun Microsystems Inc."

"Hewlett-Packard joins Microsoft Corp. in challenging Sun for control of Java, a language to let programmers write software that works across a range of computers and consumer electronics."

"Microsoft already is encouraging software developers to use its own version of Java, which runs better on Windows personal computers than on rivals' machines."

Isn't it just like HP to try cornering a market by inventing a language that no one else can use? They tried (and failed) to do the same thing with the PC market.
