Hi there
i have read that Sun has been losing money lately. Well, so has Quantas airline and it has laid off 1500 workers but they dont seem to be going down or anything.
I just wonder... if Sun is fighting a battle on 2 fronts? .NET and Linux taking over servers? look, i really have no idea what i am talking about and am currently still studying for the
SCJP exam, so i do not feel qualified at all to make assumptions.
Java seems to be a very powerful language with a lot of support through the open source community. and some polls show Java as being the most-preffered language at the moment. And the whole
J2EE thing appears to be very powerful.
If something new comes along, like superfast computers running on chips that have been etched using UV radiation (standard in 2 years i heard), parallel processors, quantum processing (prolly will be viable in 5 years)... then playing fields will change a bit...
anyway, i just wonder what Experienced (ie commercially experienced and current) java programmers feel about this. I know it is a rather debatable topic and there are a lot of emotions that come into play. But i have a lot to learn in front of me and hope to be able to get past the doubts and keep on working with a clear head, maybe develop an approach that can accomodate all possible outcomes?
thanks in advance for your thoughts.
