Re: C#=end_of_JAVA
Dale and thread,
This is why I've stated it's important for IBM and Sun to come together with Java. From the 3rd paragragh:
"We're working with ECMA, so there will be a wide range of devices and platforms that will have C# available for them," said Tony Goodhew, Microsoft's Visual C++ product manager
If you all remember, at one time Sun was working with ECMA, but things didn't work out. A company like IBM will never go along with a situation where Sun has the last say in Java. If you're going to base all your software on Java, either you control the standard or a 3rd party does. In no way do you let your main competitor control the standards. If Java fragments like UNIX did, it's the end of it.
Without going into massive processor details, it's safe to say that IBM and Sun have the same goal in their future processors. Both want superior Java performance. This goes against what the other competition is doing. Therefore, I think it's important for both companies to come to terms on this issue. If it can be done, both companies will benefit in the future. If not, we will be leaving the door wide open for IA64 to commoditize the server market.
just my opinion,
