I agree that Java should become the defacto language. As a developer I'd say it's as close to perfect as you can get. The problem is that it's not quite there yet and as a result it's still a hard sell for anything critical; bugs and performance drag. At the moment the conservative corporate world just wants to use Java on the periphery of their IT infrastructure; not embrace it for core systems. This is another reason why I think Sun should be more agressive on the consulting side. There is nothing like a joint prototype project (Sun + Customer) to get people jazzed about technology. I really think that to knock C++ off the top position we'll need to see some kick-ass compilers (exactly like Towerj) but at a more reasonable price. In the Towerj model your compiled java app can still dynamically load class files. Hotspot kept it's base as a byte-code interpreter with dynamic machine code generation for "hot spots" in the code ... I think the Towerj approach is better with the base as a machine code binary but having the ability to load byte-code dynamically. Time will tell which approach is better though. Cheers James
