Java is booming and SUN is promising: zdnet.com "Over the last year, we've made really tremendous strides in getting the performance of the [Java virtual machine] up to industrial strength," he said. "This year is the year that the performance problem goes away." "The set of developer tools out there has really exploded," said Gosling who added that 2.5 million developer kits had so far been downloaded from Sun's home page on the Internet. Later, Alan Baratz, the president of Sun's JavaSoft division, said the company plans to highlight "breadth over depth." "We've now reached the point where we're close to reaching a critical mass of functionality to build rich applications," said Baratz, adding that the company plans to dedicate "significant" resources to improve Java's functionality. "Going forward, we will be focused on internationalization and key enhancements you tell us you need to do your job." ---- And they said portability is not important. HA! HA! 14,000 developers can't be wrong. ---- Shane.
